The country's natural landscapes and infrastructure will be leveraged to foster outdoor sports activities. Ethiopian athletes will benefit from the collaboration through participation in training camps, workshops, and coaching exchanges. This exchange of expertise will contribute to the development of sports skills and foster international cooperation.

Mr. Goel expressed his eagerness to meet with the Ethiopian Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Culture to define the specific areas of cooperation, establish a roadmap, and delineate the roles and responsibilities of each party.
