Sponsored by China's Ministry of Culture and organized by the Chinese Embassy in Ethiopia, the 2018 Happy Chinese New Year celebrations will be held in Ethiopia.

From Feb 6 to 7, a 27-member art troupe from Southwest China's Guizhou province will stage two shows to convey Chinese people's best New Year wishes to Ethiopia.

The ties between China and Ethiopia have been on a constant upward trajectory since a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership was formed in May 2017.
