On Tuesday, President Felix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo inaugurated the Sakania dry port, a Chinese-built megaproject and currently the largest of its kind in Central Africa. The president described the dry port of Sakania as a modern one, hoping it could serve as an example for other ports of the DRC.
Bordering Zambia, the dry port, located in southeastern Haut-Katanga province, is a main border post of the DRC and constitutes an important mining channel. Alexis Gisaro Muvuni, minister of state for infrastructure and public works, said the project, whose construction withstood the test of COVID-19, is expected to propel local socio-economic development and increase connectivity between the DRC and other regional countries.
