Besides financial inclusion, digitalization, and employment, Sierra Leone seeks to cooperate with Togo on maritime and logistics fronts. On Monday, April 8, David Moinina Sengeh, Chief Minister of Sierra Leone, covered the topic with Togo’s Minister of Maritime Economy.

Sengeh was in Lomé, Togo, to find ways to bolster the cooperation between both countries. During his meeting with Tengue, he praised Togo for being an example in terms of port management and logistics, an example that Sierra Leone wants to follow.
“We look forward to learning and applying similar strategies in Sierra Leone,” Sengeh said.
In response, Minister Tengue declared: “We are delighted to explore new avenues of partnership with Sierra Leone. This is an opportunity to build on our respective strengths for the mutual benefit of our nations. “
While Togo has only one deep-water port in West Africa, Freetown is Africa’s largest natural harbor.
