Ethiopia's new leader, Hailemariam Desalegn, has been sworn in after the death of long-time leader Meles Zenawi in August.
"I am very happy to take the responsibility of being prime minister," said Mr Hailemariam, 47, as lawmakers banged on their desks in support, AFP news agency reports.
Mr Hailemariam had been deputy prime minister and foreign minister.
Mr Meles died last month in Brussels after 21 years in power
