Horn of Africa Pipelines Garner Foreign Attention

摘要

Two countries in the Horn of Africa peninsula, Ethiopia and Djibouti, are fast becoming the center of attention for foreign investment in infrastructure projects. Djibouti, with its Red Sea port, is of strategic importance as the gateway to imports and exports for its landlocked neighbors, most notably Ethiopia. However, it is its access to the Gulf of Aden and onward to China's trading global network that underpins its drive to cement its position as the region's trading hub.
