Ahmed highlighted on his X profile that in eight years of consistent action, the national reforestation program continues to strengthen, driven by public commitment and the shared conviction that, together, citizens can cultivate a greener and more sustainable future.

The post underscored, “Today we celebrate our annual national tree planting day, a moment when Ethiopians from all walks of life come together to create a lasting legacy for future generations.”

He stated that, along with the National Steering Committee of the 32nd United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP32), headed by Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos, they planted trees to leave their mark on this collective journey.

Ethiopian President Taye Atske-Selassie and the rest of the Cabinet also joined the historic day, despite the typical rain for this time of year, from June to September.
