This program is the first human resource development cooperation project to be run by the China-Africa (Ethiopia)-United Nations (Industrial Development Organization) Center of Excellence, signifying that initial achievements have been made in all of the center's three key areas of development cooperation - industrialization, agricultural modernization and human resource - within the year.

Deputy Director-General of the CIDCA's Department of International Cooperation Guan Zhiyong, as well as Ethiopia's Federal Civil Service Commissioner Mekuria Haile and State Minister of Industry Hassan Mohammed attended the launching ceremony.

In his address, Guan said that the establishment of the China-Africa-UNIDO Center of Excellence is a major measure among the ten partnership actions proposed by China at the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. This workshop, the first training program of the center, marks a new start in the center's endeavor to build capacity, and will lead China's human resources development cooperation with Ethiopia and other African countries to a new stage, he said.

Chinese modernization has broken the myth that modernization means westernization and provided a new choice for mankind to realize modernization, he said. China is ready to design more exchange and study programs under the framework of the center, enhance governance experience sharing with Ethiopia and other African countries, support them in exploring sustainable development paths suited to their national conditions, and jointly advance modernization, he added. 

Haile and Mohammed extended sincere appreciation to the CIDCA for providing the training opportunity, which is vital to enhancing the governance capacity of Ethiopia. They said that the Ethiopia-China all-weather strategic partnership is based on mutual respect and trust with common goals, and the workshop reflects the shared values of both sides. It is not only an opportunity for learning, but also a platform to share experiences, best practice and innovative ideas, they said, calling for all participants to engage in in-depth exchanges and discussions, in a bid to contribute to the prosperity and development of Ethiopia and the deepening of Ethiopia-China cooperation.
