A simple paragraph, but a strong signal sent to international investors, Côte d'Ivoire is no longer content with attracting capital, it is now structuring its industrial ambitions around long-term partnerships. Indeed, it was on the occasion of the second day of the Consultative Group for the financing of the National Development Plan (PND) 2026-2030 that a diplomatic and economic scene took place leading to the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Côte d'Ivoire and Winning International Group. Far from an immediate financial commitment, the text establishes a framework for dialogue intended to identify, evaluate and prepare large integrated projects. Projects deemed viable will then give rise to specific implementation agreements.

For the Ivorian government, this approach is fully in line with the ambitions of the PND 2026-2030, which aims to accelerate the structural transformation of the economy, strengthen industrialization, locally transform natural resources and create jobs for youth. On the side of the Chinese group, the Vice-President, Rui Shiliang justified this commitment by the Ivorian economic dynamism and the attractiveness of its business climate, promising to put the experience of Winning International Group at the service of the industrial transformation of the country. This signing comes in a context where Abidjan is increasing strategic partnerships, as evidenced by the protocol concluded the same week with ABD Group for 500 million euros in the social sectors. 

Note that the protocol was signed by the Minister of Commerce, Industry and Crafts, Kalil Konaté, the Minister of Mines, Oil and Energy, Mamadou Sangafowa-Coulibaly, the Minister of Infrastructure and Road Maintenance, Yacouba Hien Sié, as well as the Vice President of Winning International Group, Rui Shiliang.
