President Paul Kagame and his counterparts of South Sudan, Uganda and Kenya are expected to attend a one-day Northern Corridor Integration summit to be held in Kenya.
At this 5th Northern Corridor Integration Projects summit, the leaders will discuss the railway projects and also tackle the operational, technical and administrative issues facing the land transport sector of the East and Central Africa regions.
Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda had launched a $13.8 billion flagship railway project that links Mombasa to Kigali and the railway line is expected to dramatically boost East African’s position as a regional economic hub.
The goal of the initiative is to uproot the poor infrastructure that dogs the trade and economic flow of goods and services within the East African community and neighboring countries.
Working on the transport system would have a significant impact on the regional trade.
