The Indonesian embassy in Addis Ababa has identified two main obstacles that hamper trade relations between the two nations; the geographic location of Ethiopia as a landlocked country and the armed conflicts around Ethiopia. [3] Through the Non-Aligned Movement Center for South-South Technical Cooperation, Indonesia has assisted numerous Ethiopian public officials through education and training in Indonesia encompassing various sectors; such as agriculture, education, family planning, micro-enterprise management, environment, poverty reduction, health improvement and higher education opportunities. [3]

Trade and investment

Although today the trade volume is relatively small, the trade between Ethiopia and Indonesia will potentially increase as Indonesia sees Ethiopia as a new African market for Indonesian products, such as soap and instant noodles. In 2007 the bilateral trade volume stood around US$69 million, balanced heavily in favour of Indonesia. Ethiopian imports from Indonesia are electronics, soap and detergent, paper and books, tire, textile and furniture. [1]
