The employees of these service delivery organizations were also called up on to promote the country's cultural values by wearing the nation's traditional cloths and shoes.

Deputy Chairman of an association of weavers, Dessalegn Bayu told Ethiopian News Agency on Friday that hotels, restaurants and recreational centers have a significant role to play in promoting the traditional products of the country.

The organizations should decorate their curtains, tables and sofas, among others, with traditional products.

Besides promoting the cultural values of Ethiopia, using the traditional products widely would also create a chance for market opportunity.

The association has been striving to supply various kinds of traditional clothes for tourists coming to here for the Ethiopian Millennium celebrations.

He also called up on Ethiopians in the Diaspora to promote the culture of the country by taking traditional products abroad.
