ADDIS ABABA, February 14, 2026 (ENA) —The Prime Minister of the Italian Republic, Giorgia, has departed from Ethiopia today, concluding a visit centered on the Second Italy-Africa Summit.

Her departure marks the end of high-level engagements that have further solidified the blossoming partnership between Italy and the African continent.

At Bole International Airport, the Prime Minister was seen off by the State Minister of Foreign Affairs, Berhanu, in a ceremony reflecting the warmth and mutual respect defining current bilateral relations.
