Discussions with Djibouti Telecom’s executives and technical teams explored network optimization, service delivery improvements, and enhanced operational coordination to ensure seamless and resilient connectivity.

Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to expanding capacity in line with Ethiopia’s digital growth and advancing inclusive digital transformation, strengthening regional connectivity and supporting a more digitally empowered Africa.
