The Ambassadors to Russia of Ethiopia and Ghana have spoken about their governments moving forward with joint nuclear energy projects with Russia.
Russian Ambassador to Ethiopia Evgeny Terekhin told Sputnik that once Russia’s nuclear engineering corporation, Rosatom, carries out a technical assessment, pre-project construction work for a nuclear power station can begin. In addition, Russia is carrying out a feasibility study for a Russian-built aluminum smelter in Ethiopia. The Ambassador added that Ethiopia’s BRICS accession has elevated bilateral cooperation to a “qualitatively new level.”
