Prime Minister, Head of Government - Philemon Yang
A 12-member delegation from the investment firm Hong Kong Resources Development Group Ltd has just notified the Cameroonian Prime Minister, Philémon Yang, of its interest in carrying out under the PPP model (public-private partnership), some ongoing or scheduled infrastructure projects in the country.
Philémon Yang was particularly glad that the investors from Hong Kong Resources Development Group Ltd were interested in the project for the construction of the Song Mbengué hydroelectric dam, in the Littoral region. This energy infrastructure, for which financing has been sought for years, should produce approximately 1,000 MW.
Apart from this dam, whose capacity could in practical terms equal the one installed in the country (approximately 1,200 MW), Hong Kong Resources Development Group Ltd established its interest for road and railway projects.
These are, for example, the Edéa-Kribi and Yaoundé-Douala motorway projects (2nd phase), projects for the construction of railway lines between Douala and Ngaoundéré, Limbe and Douala or the extension of the Cameroonian railway to Chad, a project which already stirred the interest of the Bolloré group.
