Abiy was speaking yesterday in Ethiopia, in a State Banquet he hosted in the honour of President Kagame.
He said that Kagame leads the continent in great, wise and miraculous ways.
“President Kagame is not only the President of Rwanda but he is also leading the continent in great, wise and miraculous ways of transforming the continent and economic integration, as well as realising the vision of our forefathers,” he praised.
Abiy promised Kagame to wave visas on people entering Ethiopia.
“The President invited all Africans to travel to Rwanda without visas, we will follow you very soon,” he said.
According to Abiy, Kagame is a great gift for the people of Rwanda and for the continent.
“President Kagame is a freedom fighter, great gift for the people of Rwanda and for the continent. After fighting for freedom it is difficult to establish institutions, but when you go to Rwanda you can see how this leader has changed the country,” he added.
“I am grateful to have President Kagame here in Ethiopia, we will continue working together, we have many great visions to disrupt this continent,” Abiy said.
In the event, Heads of States exchanged gifts, where Abiy gave a cow to Kagame and Kagame gave a dance portrait to Abiy.
As part of the three-day state visit, Kagame and Abiy held bilateral talks in Addis Ababa yesterday and toured Hawassa Industrial Park.
