Recently, the President of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina, attended the commencement ceremony of the municipal road repair project on St. Mary Island undertaken by the 14th Hydropower Bureau of Power Construction Corporation of China and unveiled the project.

Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world and the largest island in Africa, with abundant tourism resources. However, the construction of infrastructure cannot meet the tourism needs of tourists. In order to change this situation, the Malaysian government has announced the plan for the 760 kilometer "Sun Road" project.

The people will benefit from it.
