It is about thirty years since postal services have been established in
Ethiopia and we are assembled here today only to see the change of the
Head Office. We all heartily share the good words spoken by our Minister
of Posts recalling the works of the great Emperor Menelik II and thanking
the founders and leaders of postal works in Our country.
It is evident that Our country can also achieve what other developed
countries achieved by expanding and developing its communications with
the modern world.
The work so far achieved through the establishment of postal
communications with other countries and governments has indeed been of
great advantage to Our country. Although Ethiopia has been a member of
the International Telecommunications Union, this by itself could not bring
an overnight change of advanced and well-organized postal administration.
Many problems and obstacles have to be encountered and those to whom
we entrusted the work have worked hard and with great devotion and
have overcome them successfully.
And on this happy occasion of Our inauguration of this new postal office,
Her Majesty and I personally congratulate the Minister, top officials and all
those post office employeees who made its accomplishment possible
through their hard and time-consuming efforts.
As we have entrusted you with the task before, we again hope that you
will continue to do your job efficiently. When we thank the post office for
what it has done so far, it is with the assurance that we will continue to
help and assist in all its future activities.
On behalf of Her Majesty and Myself, we also thank the honorable
representatives of foreign governments, ladies and dignitaries for their
presence at the inauguration ceremony of this new post office.
