SOUTH KOREA TO HELP IN CAMEROON
Posted on 21 September 2009 by Railways Africa Editor
A South Korean consortium is to undertake feasibility studies and produce a national railway master plan for Cameroon, in terms of a 13-month contract signed on 10 September between the ministry of the economy, planning, and regional development (MINEPAT) on one hand, and the Korea Port Engineering Corporation, Chung-Suk Engineering company Limited, the Korea Transport Institute and the Korea Rail Network Authority. The plan will be used as a guide in modernising the country’s railways. According to ministry secretary-general Roger Mbassa Ndine, the objective is to build lines to all parts of the country. The project, he explained, is in line with government intentions to “lift the country’s railway system to international standards” by 2035. The studies will be funded from Cameroon’s 2009 and 2010 public investment budget.
