The train is sorely needed in the north of the country, so we defend the construction of a railway line that can connect to the DRC\u201d, he reiterated.<\/p>\n<p>In turn, the head of traditional authorities in the municipality of Cuimba, Ntinti Lulendo, also agrees with the same opinion, stating that a railway linking Ui\u0301ge\/Zaire\/RDC would boost the economy of the northern region of Angola.<\/p>\n<p>Ntinti Lulendo defended that this project would also cover the eastern region of the country, but specifically the provinces of Lundas Norte and Sul.<\/p>\n<p>The Long-Term Strategy \u2013 Angola 2050 is a bifocal plan, with a clear vision of what is intended for the country in the future, but clearly and decisively articulating the short-term initiatives that ensure the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>The document is based on five pillars &#8211; Society that values \u200b\u200band enhances its human capital; Modern and competitive infrastructures; Diverse and prosperous economy; Resilient and sustainable ecosystem and fair nation with equal opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Provincial Government, municipal administrators, academics, representatives of civil society organizations, political parties with seats in the National Assembly, religious and traditional entities participated in the public consultation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/angola\">Angola<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Angola.
