He told Chinese media agency Xinhua that Ethiopia-based Chinese companies can sell to the US and European Union and avoid the import duties they would face if they were based in their own country.
Chinese shoemaker Huajian Group is looking to invest $2 billion in the country. "What we are witnessing in Ethiopia nowadays in terms of the country's manufacturing capacity would have been unimaginable 10 years ago. Government officials would have never conceived we could have a single factory where 10,000 workers are employed under one roof," added Mr Teshome.
