The first batch of 34 young Ethiopians received railway operation training in central China’s Zhengzhou City and graduated yesterday.
They will work as train drivers on the Ethiopia-Djibouti railway, the 756-km railway thats connects Ethiopia to Djibouti. Dagmawit Moges, Ethiopia’s Minister of Transport, has congratulated the graduates.
“As Ethiopia’s first graduates, remember the great responsibility your country puts upon you in terms of practical railway operations to implement. The future of our Ethiopian railway is in your hands,” Minister Dagmawit said last night.
