He said that the trust and confidence put in him by Ethiopians was for a good reason.<\/p>\n<p>Kagame said that being in Ethiopia was a very pleasant time of connecting heart to heart. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means we will be back many other times and for longer. We hope to see the Prime Minister, regional leaders, other leaders, brothers and sisters visit our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>At the event, Abiy presented a cow and its calf to Kagame and described them as a great gift. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot thank you enough, it has been a great moment for us, we can only move forward hand in hand and work together.
