Madagascar reached a deal to benefit from China’s expertise for the modernization of its telecom network. The document was signed on Dec 2 between the Malagasy Prime Minister, Christian Ntsay, and the Chinese Ambassador, Yang Xiaorong, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Anosy, in the presence of the Minister of Posts, Telecommunications and Digital Development, Christian Ramarolahy.
Madagascar plans new telecommunications infrastructure, including optical fiber links and data management centers, which will help to further improve public services and reduce the cost of internal telecommunications within the public administration.
According to PM Christian Ntsay, the government now has “a tool that will help strengthen security in Antananarivo for an improved investment climate, including socio-economic and environmental investments.” The official hopes that efforts made in such a reform would lead to real transformations across the national territory.
