Djibouti President Ismail Omar Guelleh held talks with Brook Taye, head of Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH), over planned cross-border energy infrastructure projects linking the two countries. During a meeting held in Djibouti on Wednesday, Brook said Ethiopia and the Dangote Group are preparing to jointly implement a two-phase energy corridor project with Djibouti. The first phase focuses on constructing a pipeline that would transport refined petroleum products from the Port of Djibouti to Dawaleh town in Ethiopia, strengthening fuel logistics between the two countries. The second phase centres on the development of oil and gas pipelines designed to transport crude oil and natural gas from Somali Regional State to international export markets through Djibouti. Representatives from the Dangote Group joined the Ethiopian delegation during the discussions, alongside Ethiopian Ambassador Legesse Tulu. Senior Djiboutian officials, including Energy Minister Djama Mohamed Hassan, also attended the meeting.
