The Togolese capital hosted from Thursday 1 to Friday, September 2, 2022, two days of work between Togo and Burkina Faso in order to further facilitate the transit of goods on the corridor Lome-Cinkasse-Ouagadougou.
Organized during the visit of the Burkinabe Minister of Transport, Urban Mobility and Road Safety, Mahamoudou Zampaligre, in Lomé, these days were attended by the Togolese Minister of Road, Air and Rail Transport, Affoh Atcha-Dedji; the Minister of Trade, Industry and Local Consumption, Kodjo Adedze; and the Minister of Public Works, Zouréhatou Tcho-Kondo Kassa Traoré. In addition to these officials, economic operators and actors of transport and transit road and sea of both countries.
“… The objective is to strengthen relations. Above all, it is necessary to ensure the fluidity of traffic. When a vehicle leaves the port of Lomé with goods, it must arrive in real time and in record time in Burkina Faso. We will discuss the problems we encounter at the port, at the level of the Lomé – Ouagadougou corridor, insisting in particular on a point to avoid destroying our highly developed infrastructure. We must ensure that we protect people, infrastructure and goods … ” said Minister Affoh Atcha-Dedji at the opening ceremony.
