The theme which runs through all his speeches is that of a singular message: to guide and encourage his nation to rise up to the challenges of the Modern Age.

The speeches contained within this volume will help the reader to appreciate the history of Ethiopia since the beginning of the second decade of this century and some of the motivations that characterize the country under His leadership. Moreover, some of the speeches reflect His Imperial Majesty's historic and universallly respected compassionate interest in the problems of world peace, security and social justice.

On this 80th birthday anniversary of His Majesty the Emperor, the Ethiopian nation pays tribute to its greatest leader. This book of selected speeches is a humble token of the gratitude of the nation as it celebrates His Imperial Majesty's 80th birthday anniversary; a half century of which has been marked by his selfless and dedicated service to the progress and welfare of His country.
