In air transport, we cannot connect Cabo Verde, Guinea, Sao Tome, Angola and Mozambique via direct airlines, which means that people have to travel to Portugal to get to any of these destinations,\u201d he gave as an example.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are major bottlenecks that must be resolved in the short term because, without economic activity in the space, there really is no life in the CPLP,\u201d the Cabo Verdean businessman added.<\/p>\n<p>These constraints can only be resolved if the members of the CPLP \u201ctake on part of the responsibility, putting airlines from countries with more resources in partnerships with airlines from countries with fewer resources, to make connections viable,\u201d suggested the current president of the Sotavento Chamber of Commerce and the Higher Council of Chambers of Commerce and Tourism of Cabo Verde.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, TAAG has enormous potential and could help countries such as Sao Tome, Guinea and Cabo Verde; TAP also has that potential and already links Portugal with the other CPLP countries, but we lack inter-African states. We have to achieve this quickly in both sea and air transport,\u201d he said, adding that without transport, the financial instrument and training and education, there were \u201cno conditions to materialise the development of the CPLP\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
