Ethiopia will be soon one of the leading economies in Africa, claims UN Conference Center Chief

Gerard Hounkponou, Chief of the UN Conference Centre, Conference Coordination Unit, Conference Services Section, believes Ethiopia will become one of the leading economies in Africa.

“The Ethiopian economy is growing in many sectors. The country´s potential in terms of resources is showing that Ethiopia will very soon be one of the leading economies in the African continent… Ethiopia has strong potentials for attracting further investment opportunities and partnerships. Here in the UN Conference Centre, we are partnering with the Ethiopian government in the tourism sector in particular to market Ethiopia and particularly Addis Ababa as a tourism and conference hub in Africa, in order to enhance the visibility and brand of Ethiopia in the world,” he says.
