9月5日上午，國家主席習近平在北京人民大會堂出席中非合作論壇北京峰會開幕式并發表主旨講話時指出，非洲有句諺語“同路人才是真朋友”。現代化道路上一個都不能少，一國都不能掉隊。埃塞俄比亞航空集團中國區總經理谷藹明(Aman Wole Gurmu)向中新社中新網記者表示，這一點在這個時代非常有意義。他認為，現代化是每個企業和國家發展的關鍵和重要途徑，而他在中國工作生活的時候，就為中國現代化的程度震撼。

　　他進一步解釋道，埃塞俄比亞航空集團就是很好的佐證之一，中國大力支持埃塞俄比亞航空的物流領域，讓其得以經營現代化和高科技的機群。“中非合作機遇無限，中非關系也邁上了新臺階，我相信未來充滿光明，”谷藹明總結道。(吳家駒 陳天浩)

　　As an African proverb goes, a friend is someone you share the path with. On the path to modernization, no one, and no country, should be left behind. Aman Wole Gurmu, country director of China for Ethiopian Airlines, notes that modernization is a key and important tool for any business and any nation to develop, and he was very much impressed during his stay in China by the modernization of Chinese technology.

　　He further explains that Ethiopian Airlines is one of the main examples - It has been receiving huge support from China in the logistic sector, and now it is operating the modern and high-technology air fleet. “There are huge opportunities, and China-Africa relationship has grown to a higher level. The future is very optimistic,” concluded Gurmu. (Wu Jiaju, Chen Tianhao)
