He called on Central African heads of state to come together for a special presidential summit dedicated to energy security in the sub-region. This summit will allow them to discuss the effectiveness of the initial CAPS summary. A crucial step to immediately launch the detailed studies and the funding necessary for the realization of this integrated project, which is expected to be completed for 2030.
In fact, it is a meeting platform for the Central African sub-region, with the aim of developing the regional energy industry and establishing public-private relations. Participants will meet under the theme “natural gas as the key to Central Africa’s industrialization and economic acceleration, through effective sub-regional institutional integration”.
