The President of the Republic, João Lourenço, said this Monday in Luanda that foreign investors are looking at the country differently, considering that the facts have shown greater confidence.
In an interview with Angolan public television (TPA), the Head of State pointed to the Lobito Corridor as a case in point.
He emphasised that from the moment the public tender was opened for the concession of the line and to link it to the Tanzanian Railways, in order to connect the two countries, interest was aroused from investors, especially from Europe and the United States of America.
As a result, according to the President of the Republic, ‘very concrete steps are being taken to ensure that this dormant dream becomes a reality as soon as possible’.
João Lourenço also announced that, later this month, there will be a meeting in Rome (Italy) with the president of the Italian Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, and the president of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, so that, within the framework of the Mattei Plan, more resources can be mobilised to inject into the Lobito Corridor.
