The strategic pillars of Ethiopia’s foreign policy positioning globally, regionally, and locally are based on the principles of respect for national sovereignty, non-alignment, pursuance of mutual benefits and the creation of peaceful environments conducive for internal and regional development and progress. These policies have yielded dividends for the country in terms of safeguarding its national interests economically, politically, diplomatically, and militarily, which are the outcomes of pursuing a “Win-Win” foreign policy.
The two countries throughout their partnership, they have gained extensive experience in mutually beneficial cooperation that meets the interests of both countries in various areas. Significant countries of the world that hold political and economic powers currently aim to develop economic interests and political influence on the African continent. Russia uses every opportunity to demonstrate its willingness to acquire its former prestige among world states. In short, Russia and Ethiopia have blood and marital bondage.
