Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The governments of South Sudan and Japan on Friday signed a grant agreement of 2,930,000 Japanese Yuan for the cleaning and expansion of the Juba River Port.<\/p>\n

The project, which is expected to take two years, will see an expansion of the jetty, cargo handling yard, storage facilities, security facilities (security fence, gate, guard post, flood lights) and lifelines (generator, well, water tank, hydrant and toilet) among others.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the signing ceremony in Juba, Ambassador Mayen Dut, the Undersecretary of South Sudan\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs who signed on behalf of the government, said the grant agreement is in line with the Japanese economic cooperation with the government of South Sudan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project for the development of Juba River Port is very important for the economic development of South Sudan as it will open the transport network access in the country,\u201d Mayen said.<\/p>\n

The ministry\u2019s undersecretary further said the grant availed by Japan will be used efficiently and transparently for the benefit of the economy in South Sudan.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of its importance, the government of South Sudan will make sure the grant availed will be properly and exclusively used,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

For his part, Tsutsumi Naohiro, the Japanese Ambassador to South Sudan, said the Juba River Port project is to contribute to taking advantage of developing South Sudan\u2019s economy, especially at a point where there is an economic crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expanded port will be helpful for not only reducing the barrier of exchanges between the east and the west but also enhance the connectivity among the riverside areas. I must say this is a great step towards a self-reliant economic development in South Sudan,\u201d Tsutumi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter 11 years, the original plan cannot be used as it was. Therefore, the government of Japan decided to end the initial project and start a new project based on the planning based on the current situation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The project, which to be undertaken by Japanese contractors, is expected to take off this year.<\/p>\n
