It is generally attested that there is no more enduring meeting ground
between nations and peoples than on the cultural and economic field.
Proud of her cultural heritage, Ethiopia has made it her policy to distil from
other cultures that which is beneficial, and to blend it with her own so as
to develop a way of life suited to the times yet anchored to the renown
history of the nation.

will aid our two peoples and those interested in comparative culture. It is,
therefore, with pleasure that We declare open this German Cultural
Institute in Addis Ababa.
