奧巴馬對埃塞俄比亞進行歷史性訪問

President Barack Obama is spending all day meeting with his Ethiopian counterpart in that nation's capital on the first state visit by a US president to the East African powerhouse. Terrorism, development and human rights are sure to be raised in discussions between the two leaders.

President Barack Obama has a lot to talk about with his counterpart, Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, as the two meet in Ethiopia's capital.

Terrorism tops the agenda, especially in light of a recent terror attack in the capital of neighboring Somalia.

Development is also high on the agenda. Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, has been rapidly expanding. And the economy of this country has been seeing double digit growth for the last few years.

But Mr. Obama has also warned that he will not mince words on things that are important to him, like human rights, a sore spot for Ethiopia as the regime has been accused of numerous abuses in recent years, including stifling of the press and harassment of dissidents.

These are all sure to make for interesting discussions on Mr. Obama's historic state visit to Ethiopia.美國總統奧巴馬星期一在埃塞俄比亞首都與埃塞俄比領導人舉行一天會晤。這是美國總統首次訪問這個東非大國。恐怖主義、發展與人權必定是兩位領導人討論的內容。

奧巴馬總統和德薩萊尼總理的會談將涉及許多問題。埃塞鄰國索馬里首都最近遭到恐怖襲擊，因此恐怖主義是兩位領導人首先要討論的問題。

發展是另一個主要問題。埃塞首都亞的斯亞貝巴正在迅速發展。埃塞經濟近幾年以兩位數字的速度增長。

但是奧巴馬也警告說，他會坦率地提及他認爲重要的問題，例如人權問題。埃塞俄比亞政府近年來被指責有嚴重侵犯人權行爲，其中包括壓制媒體，騷擾異議人士。

這些都將成爲奧巴馬對埃塞俄比亞歷史性國事訪問中令人關注的話題。
