The Italian Ambassador to Ethiopia, Sem Fabrizi, at the invitation of the Ethiopian Committee of Italians Abroad (Comites), met with over 150 representatives of the Italian community at the historic Juventus Club in Addis Ababa. The President of Comites, Pierpaolo Elmi, and the club’s president, Alberto Elmi, in welcoming Ambassador Fabrizi and wishing him a successful tenure, noted how the Italian community—composed of long-time residents, religious figures, and more recently arrived professionals and students—is an active and engaged part of Ethiopian society and maintains strong ties with Italy and its diplomatic and consular representation. In his welcoming remarks, Ambassador Fabrizi expressed his appreciation for the invitation and for the opportunity to meet with the Italian community at the Juventus Club, a historic and traditional gathering place. He expressed his hope for ever-stronger relations with his compatriots and for an important role for Comites, as their representative body, within the broader “Sistema Italia” operating in Ethiopia.
