Nowadays, one of the main priorities for the African continent is development based on promoting and intensifying trade, for which it is essential to build infrastructures that guarantee connectivity between African countries, the mobility of economic operators and encourage free trade between them, within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area. With this in mind, the Republic of Angola has established partnerships at international level to ensure the operation of the Benguela Railway and the Lobito mineral and commercial ports as part of the major transnational transport and logistics project of the Lobito Corridor, which will ensure the faster, safer and more competitively priced transport of minerals, agricultural and industrial products produced in the Republic of Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola across the Atlantic Ocean to the rest of the world.
