This was during the ministers’ council held last Wednesday in Lomé. The government’s move aligns with its objective to keep innovating in the telecom industry. This sector indeed has over the recent years become very competitive in the region as major operators like Maroc Telecom, which is active in Togo via Moov, MTN, Orange or Vodacom expand their footprint in West Africa.

It was Gnassingbe's second state visit to China since he became president in 2005. In December, Xi met with Gnassingbe during the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Johannesburg, South Africa. In April, Gnassingbe inaugurated a motorcycle assembly plant of Chinese company Dayang Group in Notse city, 96 kilometers north of the capital, Lome. The plant will produce over 3,000 Leopard brand motorcycles per year and will help to reduce unemployment, Xinhua reported.
