his visit to Jordan, Ethiopia, and Oman
प्रव तथ: 15 DEC 2025 8:15AM by PIB Delhi
Today, I am embarking on a three-nation visit to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Federal
Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the Sultanate of Oman, three nations with which India shares both
age-old civilizational ties, as well as extensive contemporary bilateral relations.
First, I will be visiting Jordan, on the invitation of His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein. This
historic visit will mark 75 years of establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries.
During my visit, I will hold detailed discussions with His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein, H.E.
Mr. Jafar Hassan, Prime Minister of Jordan, and will also look forward to engagements with His Royal
Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II. In Amman, I will also meet the vibrant Indian
community who have made significant contributions to India–Jordan relations.
From Amman, at the invitation of H.E. Dr. Abiy Ahmed Ali, Prime Minister of Ethiopia, I will pay my
first visit to the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. Addis Ababa is also the headquarters of the
African Union. In 2023, during India’s G20 Presidency, the African Union was admitted as a permanent
member of the G20. In Addis Ababa, I will hold detailed discussions with H.E. Dr. Abiy Ahmed Ali and
also have the opportunity to meet the Indian diaspora living there. I will also have the privilege to address
the Joint Session of Parliament, where I eagerly look forward to sharing my thoughts on India’s journey as
the “Mother of Democracy” and the value that the India–Ethiopia partnership can bring to the Global
South.
On the final leg of my journey, I will visit the Sultanate of Oman. My visit will mark 70 years of the
establishment of diplomatic ties between India and Oman. In Muscat, I look forward to my discussions
with His Majesty the Sultan of Oman, and towards strengthening our Strategic Partnership as well as our
strong commercial and economic relationship. I will also address a gathering of the Indian diaspora in
Oman, which has contributed immensely to the country’s development and in enhancing our partnership.
