Speaking on the occasion, the counselor said more Chinese investors in Ethiopia will continue discharging their social responsibilities from next year to benefit the communities.

“For this program, three Chinese companies have been involved, CSCENCC, CCECC and CGCOC. We hope we could promote more Chinese companies to be involved next year.”

Ethiopian Investment Commissioner, Lelise Neme said the Chinese Embassy in Addis Ababa has been doing great job in mobilizing Chinese investors in Ethiopia to engage in investments and discharge their social responsibilities.

“There is a plan in the commission and a direction from the embassy to include all the Chinese investors to engage in similar social responsibilities,” she added.
