丝路人：中国企业里的埃塞俄比亚测量员 | How this surveyor works in a Chinese firm
“国之交在于民相亲，民相亲在于心相通。”
“一带一路”不仅是经济、贸易之路，也是文明、友谊之路。
在过去几年中，“一带一路”沿线国家的民众们也积极参与到建设当中来，共建"民心相通桥"， 共享发展成果。
在本期《丝路人》系列视频中，来自中铁四局电气化公司埃塞克林图工业园项目测量员Daniel Dejene讲述了他的“一带一路”故事。
Close cooperation on infrastructure, the economy and technology between China and its partner nations has thrived greatly since the launch of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in 2013.
Thanks to these tightening ties, more foreigners are realizing the value of working in Chinese companies.
CGTN is sharing personal stories of seven employees who work in Chinese companies based in their own countries.
In the fifth episode of "The Faces," Daniel Dejene from Ethiopia shares his story of working with the electrification engineering branch at the Kilinto Industrial Park project by China Tiesiju Civil Engineering Group (CTCE Group) as a surveyor.
埃塞俄比亚政府为实现国家“经济正常与转型”五年计划的目标，致力于打造一系列经济特区和工业园区。由中铁四局承建的埃塞俄比亚克林图工业园就是其中之一。
The Kilinto Ethiopia Industrial Park, contracted by CTCE Group, is the goal of the Ethiopian government's five-year plan to realize the country's "economic normality and transformation."

整个建设过程为当地提供了三千余个就业岗位，缓解了当地就业压力、刺激了工业发展，同时也进一步加大了出口贸易、提高产业竞争力、促进区域可持续发展。
The project is committed to creating a series of special economic zones (SEZs) and industrial parks (IPs).
The largest in scale industrial park under construction, covering an area of 279 hectares, is located in the south of Addis Ababa, 15 kilometers southeast of the city center.
The project mainly includes the development of facility land (such as site formation, roads, bridges, sanitation, power, telecommunications, landscape, walls, gates, etc.) and the construction of auxiliary buildings, including the administrative office building, logistics warehouse, police station, health center and fire station.
The project construction can alleviate the pressure of local employment, stimulate industrial development, increase export trade, improve industrial competitiveness and promote regional sustainable development.
The construction process provided more than 3,000 jobs for the locals.
The safety awareness and labor skills of the Ethiopian workers in the fieldwork were improved.

After the completion of the project, the company plans to focus on the pharmaceutical industry. A group of Chinese enterprises will enter the industrial park, which will further increase local employment, alleviate the current situation that 80 percent of drugs in Ethiopia need to be imported from abroad.
It also saves foreign exchange for Ethiopia and solves the situation of drug shortages in Ethiopia and Africa.
作为中铁四局电气化公司埃塞克林图工业园项目测量员，Daniel Dejene可以说是项目中“成长”最快的埃塞籍员工。他为自己可以在中铁四局这样的中资企业，从事埃塞目前在建最大的克林图工业园项目而自豪。他说中铁四局用两年的时间，把279公顷的克林图工业园从一片荒芜建设的欣欣向荣、充满生机，这是很多国家都不敢想的事情。“我喜欢在中国企业工作，我爱中国。”
For Daniel Dejene, a graduate of Hawassa University majoring in civil engineering, his main work is to conduct on-site surveying, contact the supervisor, deal with the related inspection application business, and supervise the subcontractors' construction according to the drawings and technical specifications.
A fast learner, Daniel Dejene is now able to complete the whole process of collecting and organizing project measurement receipts, compiling and reporting by himself. From a non-Chinese, he can communicate with Chinese teachers without any obstacles.
Daniel Dejene is a typical example of Ethiopian youth growing up in a Chinese enterprise. He is proud that he can work in a Chinese company like CTCE Group.
