I am very proud to be present at the launch ceremony of this historic national consultation. This great conference, which will gather four thousand participants under one roof in the coming weeks, is a historic occasion where Ethiopia has found the "pen and paper" that will enable it to write a new history with its own hands. We are at a time when Ethiopia's political journey starts with strong words and ends with strong actions and replace it with dialogue and dialogue. I express my gratitude to the Commissioners of the National Consultative Commission for their contribution to the success of this great journey. This conference, which is based on the process of gathering the agenda from the bottom up involving hundreds of thousands of citizens, is not easily repeated and has a huge and great purpose in the modern history of Ethiopia. By turning our challenges into good opportunities, we will strengthen the culture of peaceful transition of power. Today we sow good seeds that will survive for the next generation. We will make our children benefit from the fruit it produces. When we participate in this consultation, when we come out of our neighborhood and advise Ethiopia, when we discuss for our children and thinking about them, the result will be very fruitful. Let's plant hope, forgiveness and coexistence together. Let's protect our country from foreign interference by solving our problems through domestic dialogue and forgiveness. I invite all the participants to record a historic result that is good for Ethiopia, a teacher for Africa, and a real rest for all Ethiopians. Let Ethiopia be proud of her children's efforts and live forever! Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (Dr.) For more information: https://linktr.ee/Addis_Ababa_Communication
