UAE minister visits Ethiopia to discuss joint co-operation



The Minister of State for International Co-operation, Reem bint Ibrahim Al Hashemy, on Friday met with the prime minister of Ethiopia to discuss joint co-operation between the two countries.

During a visit to the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, Ms Al Hashemy discussed with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed the two countries working together on vital areas of energy, infrastructure, investment, free industrial zones and civil aviation.

She also held a series of meetings with Ethiopian senior officials, tackling bilateral relations.

There has been increased diplomatic activity between the two countries since the visit of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, to Addis Ababa in mid-June this year.

The visit saw the signing of a number of memorandums of understanding on investment, cultural co-operation and development projects.

In July, Abu Dhabi welcomed Prime Minister Ahmed and a tripartite meeting between Sheikh Mohammed, Mr Ahmed and the Eritrean president Isaias Afwerki.

It led to a landmark peace agreement between Ethiopia and Eritrea following a 20-year 'state of war' between the two countries.

Sheikh Mohammed called the peace agreement a "bold and historic step" that opened "new horizons for co-operation and joint co-ordination".

How the bonus system works

The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.

The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.

There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).

All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.
