Transportation is an important support for the sustainable development of the national economy. The Ethiopian Highway Foundation recently revealed that Ethiopia plans to expand the highway in the next ten years, and the total length will increase from the current 301 kilometers to 1,600 kilometers. Behir, the head of the foundation's road infrastructure planning team, said that the implementation of the expressway expansion plan will help implement the ten-year development plan of Ethiopia, open up the transportation network between Ethiopia and neighboring countries, strengthen economic and trade ties, and facilitate the process of economic and social development.

In fact, what most African countries should really do is learn from the "two brothers" of Ethiopia and Djibouti. In order to break the situation, Djibouti took advantage of its geographical advantages and used the "road" that has been opened, that is, the port of Djibouti, to carry out import and export trade of materials to promote its own economic growth.

Ethiopia's approach is similar. The difference is that while copying the Chinese model, Ethiopia has embarked on its own development path based on its own national characteristics. As the second most populous country in Africa, Ethiopia is very rich in domestic oil and gas resources. The domestic situation is similar to that in the early stage of China's reform and opening up, with a large population and a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt, but no correct path has been found.

The connection of the Yaji Railway not only facilitates the transportation, but also brings infinite possibilities for its development. Recently, on the basis of the continuous economic progress in the previous period, Ethiopia has made a plan for the next stage of growth and transformation. According to the current domestic situation and international environment, Ethiopia has planned a series of policies to attract foreign investment. This approach is undoubtedly effective.
