Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed received the Nobel Peace Prize in a ceremony held in Oslo, Norway today.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Prime Minister for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation, and in particular for his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighboring Eritrea.
The prize is also meant to recognize all the stakeholders working for peace and reconciliation in Ethiopia and in the East and Northeast African regions, the Committee said in a statement last October.
The Committee hopes that the Nobel Peace Prize will strengthen Prime Minister Dr Abiy in his important work for peace and reconciliation.
