The trade delegation also met with several national, international mining companies and institutions such as the Ministry of Mines, Ministry of Investment, the World Bank, ANAIM (Agence nationale de l’aménagement des infrastructures minières) in order to discuss business opportunities and establishing contacts.
Meeting with the Prime Minister Mamady Youla
“Guinea is the first country in terms of mineral reserves in the world. Guinea has the largest iron store none operates in the world.
The government is working with investors so that they are involved and that each party meets its commitments. As a government, we are promoting investment, but investments are open for private. The government is currently working to pool different projects. In the development of a mining project, it is important to create infrastructure (port, rail and equipment) but not only the operation.” Said Mr. Prime Minister Mamady Youla.
