Although Our national economy is not yet fully developed to enable Us to
accomplish the objective We have ultimately set Ourselves in the field of
education, We have granted, thus implementing the principle that education
is the vital need, scholarships to other African countries. We are fully
aware that Czechoslovakia, in the same way as Ethiopia, is one of the
countries which strive to assist the people of Africa to extend their
education and to achieve independence in determining their own destinies.
In view of the fact, that the Czechoslovak Government has granted
scholarships to Ethiopian students, we trust that in the near future
Ethiopian students will be enrolled in this ancient, famous University. It is,
therefore, in full cognizance of this unique significance of this University
as the main source of national culture and strength as well as of the great
importance and keenness of this University in the field of culture that We
accept this great honor conferred upon Us today.
