A recent visit to Ethiopia by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues to be fodder for Ethiopian media.

The Turkish President arrived in Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on Thursday and his visit lasted for a day, but this one-day visit is proving to be an important topic for Ethiopian media on Saturday for the third day in a row.

Soon after Erdogan started his visit to Ethiopia and until now, the Amharic daily Addis Zemen, the English daily Ethiopian Herald and the Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation, which runs both the state television and radio, a handful of newspapers and webpages, have been analyzing Turkish-Ethiopian relations.

These media outlets have also dwelt on the economic, political, social and diplomatic aspects of these relations as well as on the results of the one-day visit of the Turkish President to Addis Ababa.

During his visit, Erdogan was keen to highlight the fact that his country's relations with Ethiopia were not based on narrow interests.

He said Turkey was keen on offering technological assistance to Ethiopia so that the Horn of Africa state could benefit from its natural resources.

"We think that what we contribute to Ethiopia is very little compared to our love for the country," Erdogan said.

He described Ethiopia as Turkey's "gateway" to the African continent, noting that his country's relations with Ethiopia dated back to the Ottoman era.

Talks between Erdogan and Ethiopian Prime Minister, Hailemariam Desalegn, focused on means of bolstering relations between the two states in all fields.

The Turkish President said he had hoped to elevate Turkish-Ethiopian relations to people-to-people levels.
