The preliminary feasibility study for the connection of the Benguela Railways (CFB) to neighboring Zambia, for a total of 259 kilometers, has already been completed, announced the Ministry of Transportation (MINTRANS).

The project, financed by the African Development Bank (AfDB), should link the town of Luacano, Moxico province, to the Jimbe border post.

A delegation from Zambia that includes the ministers of Housing and Infrastructure, Vicent Mwale, and Transport and Communication, Lole Mututwe, will be in Angola until Sunday, and is scheduled to travel to the city of Lobito, Benguela province, where the infrastructure of Lobito's Economic Development Corridor is located.

The Angolan Government has decided to elect this project as a priority in the scope of Public-Private Partnerships.

By 2018, the two countries had already held bilateral discussions with a view to developing priority projects "aimed at improving the connectivity of road, rail, river and civil aviation networks" between Angola and Zambia.

"Approximately two years after the agreement was signed, it seems necessary for the parties to analyze the degree of compliance with the actions undertaken in this field," states MINTRANS.

The ministers of Zambia met on Thursday afternoon with their counterparts from Transport, Ricardo Viegas d'Abreu, and Construction and Public Works, Manuel Tavares de Almeida.
