Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Addis Ababa on Tuesday for his first-ever two-day working visit to Ethiopia, which officials have reportedly described as historic.

Prime Minister Modi was welcomed at Bole International Airport by Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed, Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Gideon Timotheos, and other senior government officials.

During his stay, Prime Minister Modi is expected to hold discussions with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on key issues including investment and cyber security.
