| Yesterday, on the second day of their Ethiopia visit, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway visited Oromia Region of Ethiopia. The Crown Couple visited a project supported by Norway, which is called Sustainable Land Management. The project focuses on reduced soil pollution and better soil. |
| Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit met with local farmers in the region who benefit from that project. |
| Some Norwegian organizations are present in Ethiopia and the Royal Couple met with representatives of those organizations. The meeting was held at Lutheran Mission of Norway and the Couple visited a photo exhibition there, relating to the visit of King Olavs to Ethiopia in 1966. |
| The Couple also met with President of Human Rights Commission of Ethiopia, Dr. Addisu Gebregziabher. |
| The Crown Couple visited the facilities of Nordic Approach. In Ethiopia, coffee production generates 60% of agricultural exportation of the country. Norwegians are at the top of the world in consumption of Ethiopian coffee and make a positive contribution to the economic growth of Ethiopia. Norwegian company Nordic Approach cooperates with local farmers in order to enhance coffee quality. |
| The Crown Couple attended the test called "Coffee Cupping Ceremony" at the office of Nordic Approach. Coffee Cupping Ceremony is a technique used for evaluating and choosing coffee. |
| Yesterday evening, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway attended a reception at Embassy of Norway in Addis Ababa with Ambassador of Norway, Andreas Gaarder and his wife Uta Henrich-Gaarder. |
She looks good here in all three outfits. The white dress, albeit a bit girly, is flattering her.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I like how she has honored her hosts by wearing their scarfs. Appears to be a good visit.
DeleteThe white dress is rather nice and seems to fit her well. Lace, but with of edge.
ReplyDeleteIs that a national costume in the last photo? Sometimes visiting royals try to reference the national clothing of their host country. M-M did the opposite!
At the last photo she is at a reception in the Norwegian embassy and is wearing a Norwegian bunad. Very appropriate. She have honoured Ethiopia every day with color, dress, scarfs and jewlery. So give her a break!
DeleteThe lace dress is nice. It has a modern twist and it fits her well. Again struck with how much better MM looks in casual outdoor clothes in first pictures. She seems to love being outside.
ReplyDeleteThe second picture is strange, with Mette-Marit dressed so casual and Haakon having a suit on. But on the other hand I am not really sure wether his suit is casual or formal.
ReplyDeleteEl primer conjunto no me gusta. Mezclar lunares, rayas y blonda no es buena idea. El segundo es bonito pero me parece infantil en ella. El tercero es un traje regional y es muy bonito
