The construction of the Trans Guinea Railway has been completed, with plans to open 10 stations by the end of the year. It will transition from a dedicated mining line to a combination of passenger and freight transportation. Although the contract period is two years, the locomotives are already in place and the station will open two daily two-way trains upon completion. With the support of China Civil Engineering Corporation, the railway has opened up road rights to meet the transportation of 120 million tons of mines and activated agricultural logistics. In terms of equity, the government holds a 15% stake and plans to increase it to full ownership, while the rest will be shared equally by Rio Tinto Chinalco and Baowu WCS. With the increase of state control, this railway will become a new engine for Guinea's independent economic growth.Editor/Cheng Liting
