Imad Benmalem, CEO of Copresud said during the African investment forum held from December 3 to 5, that this type of partnership between major actors of the region is necessary for Africa. “Over the past few years, Copresud has been focusing on seeking expertise and potential worldwide, by developing partnerships with representatives of various nations,” he said.
