The 9th Sino-African Forum: A New Dynamic for Cooperation
The 9th Sino-African Forum, held from September 4 to 6 in Beijing, reaffirmed China's position as Africa's leading trading partner. This meeting emphasized green technologies, infrastructure, and the digital economy, with China pledging $50 billion in financial aid to the continent.
Economic advisor Rugare Mukanganga, who worked on a report dedicated to Sino-African cooperation, discussed recent developments in economic relations between China and Africa.
According to him, while Chinese investments have shown signs of slowing down compared to the promises made in 2021, expectations for the future remain high.
Challenges of the Maroua-Kousseri Road in Cameroon
The Maroua-Kousseri road, crucial for the Far North region of Cameroon, is in a state of advanced disrepair after more than ten years of deterioration.
The cost of this situation is disastrous for the local economy, leading to significant delays and increased transport costs. This road is essential for trade with Chad and Nigeria.
