South Sudan is making significant strides in development, thanks in large part to China's support in key infrastructure projects. Highlights of this collaboration include the China-assisted Clement Mboro Bridge in Wau and the implementation of an advanced Air Traffic Management System (ATMS), underscoring the growing bond between the two nations.
In a landmark event earlier this year, the Clement Mboro Bridge was officially inaugurated in Juba. Spanning the Jur River in Wau, the bridge has become a vital lifeline for the region. It has greatly improved transportation routes and accessibility, making daily commutes more efficient for the local residents.
Chinese Ambassador to South Sudan Ma Qiang highlighted the bridge's critical role in the country's transportation sector. He pointed out that the bridge not only reduces travel time across the Jur River but also connects communities on both sides, fosters job creation, and injects new energy into the local economy. This project stands as a testament to the tangible benefits that China's involvement brings to South Sudan's infrastructure development, paving the way for broader economic integration.
