History
Yugoslavia-Ethiopia relations
The former state of Yugoslavia maintained diplomatic ties with Ethiopia and shared membership of the NAM bloc. Josip Broz Tito granted Haile Selassie I the title of honorary citizen of the city of Belgrade.[1] The first vessel of the Ethiopian Navy was gifted from Yugoslavia, and as a sign of thanks Marshal Tito was given a villa in Addis Ababa which is now the Serbian Embassy.[2]
Contemporary relations
On January 27, 2012, after travelling to Addis Ababa in order to reaffirm Ethiopia's stance on Kosovo regarding Serbia, Vuk Jeremić and Haile Mariam signed a memorandum of understanding between the two nations' ministries of foreign affairs.[3]
Trade
In March 2011, as a result of a meeting between Serbian manufacturer IMR-Industrija motora Rakovica announced it would begin exporting tractor frames and motors to Ethiopia for assembly.[4] The first of the partially assembled tractors from Rakovica arrived in Ethiopia in May 2011.[5]
