The statement did not mention whether Abiy would meet with U.S. government officials.
Since taking office in April, the 41-year-old former intelligence officer has announced plans for sweeping economic and political reforms.
He came to power after his predecessor resigned earlier this year amid protests against abuses by security forces and public anger over perceived ethnic marginalization of many groups in the racially diverse country. *Reuters
