Ethiopia–Malaysia relations are foreign relations between Ethiopia and Malaysia. Ethiopia has a consulate-general in Kuala Lumpur,[1] while Malaysia has no embassy in Ethiopia. Both countries are members of the Group of 77.

History[]

The Ethiopian general-consulate in Kuala Lumpur was established in 2003, with the main purpose of the consulate being to enhance trade and economic activities between the two countries and for closer person-to-person contact.[1]

Economic relations[]

Malaysia is one of the major trade partners of Ethiopia.[2] In 2005, Ethiopia's Ministry of Mines and Petronas, a Malaysian oil firm, signed a four-year exploration and production agreement enabling the latter to explore and produce petroleum in Ethiopia.[3] In 2009, a Malaysian company set up a mushroom farming establishment with an investment of Br285 million.[4] The area covers a 60 hectare mushroom farm near Lake Shala where the main production facility lies.[4] In 2013, a Malaysian edible oil producer built a large food oil refinery in Ethiopia.[5] Both countries are also working on air transport and Malaysia Airlines has established a codeshare agreement with Ethiopian Airlines.[6][7]
