Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has called for adequate African representation in the international system. The statement came during an event in Addis Ababa unveiling a special stamp collection for the United Nations 80th anniversary.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed told the gathering that the United Nations founding anniversary offers a chance for multilateral institutions to adapt to a changing world. He noted Ethiopia's history as a founding member after the Second World War.
Institutions earn legitimacy only when they take the right steps amid challenges, he said. The United Nations should undergo structural changes to become more fair and inclusive.
Africa deserves a strong voice on issues that determine its future, Abiy added. Ethiopia will continue to play its part in building international peace and development, he affirmed.
