Ethiopia adapts its diplomacy to a multipolar world

Ethiopia signed the United Nations Charter in 1945 before joining BRICS, two milestones that illustrate its determination to defend its sovereignty and influence multilateral institutions. This diplomatic trajectory is presented as an adaptation to the balance of power in a world that has become multipolar, according to Fanamc.

Ethiopia has pursued a diplomatic path focused on sovereignty and a presence in multilateral institutions. It signed the United Nations Charter at the San Francisco Conference in 1945, before joining BRICS nearly eight decades later, Fanamc reported.
