Your Excellency, Madame Broz,
It give Us great pleasure to receive You here today as guests of Ourself
and the Empress.
We are also very pleased to have among Us today Madame Broz, who had
not been to Our country during Your Excellency's first visit to Ethiopia.
Our visit to Yugoslavia and this Your Excellency's second visit to Ethiopia
has indeed strengthened the bond of friendship that exists between our
two countries. And this friendship has so vividly manifested itself during
the last four years in the close co-operation between the two countries in
political, economic and social fields. In the political aspect, our
co-operation and exchange of ideas on the main issues that had arisen
inthe world at large during the last four years, has resulted in contributing
to the preservation of peace. The great insight that is displayed in the
various messages Your Excellency has sent Us has genuinely convinced
Us of the assiduity with which Your Excellency watches world affairs.
In the technical and economic aspects, Yugoslavia has sent to Ethiopia, in
response to Our request, top class experts whose co-operation with Our
experts has shown marvellous results, which has so concretely reaffirmed
Our belief in the friendship between our two countries. Similarly, in the
field of medicine, in economic planning, in the construction of the Port of
Assab, in general in many aspects of technical assistance and co-operation
Yugoslav experts are zealously helping Our country. In all this is but a
true mark of the profound understanding that exists between the two
countries.
Your Excellency, the World notes with admiration the remarkably tireless
leadership with which Your Excellency guides the destiny of Your people
both in war and peace. The long journey which Your Excellency has just
undertaken in visiting several countries, undoubtedly contributes a great
deal creating healthy relations and understanding between peoples,
promotes peaceful co-existence and spreads goodwill and international
co-operation. Furthermore, this Your second visit to Ethiopia will no
doubt consolidate the close co-operation and understanding that exists
between our two countries. And Your Excellency's indefatigable efforts
will, We know, perpetuate this great friendship....
