In the future, clean electricity from the northeast and north of Brazil will be transmitted to core areas such as the federal capital district, meeting the electricity needs of around 12 million people. In the hinterland of Southeast Asia, the development of the Vientiane Saysettha Comprehensive Development Zone in Laos, supported by the China Development Bank, is accelerating. The infrastructure such as roads and electricity is being further improved, attracting companies from China, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, and other countries and regions to invest and establish businesses, effectively promoting the open development of this landlocked country. Along the Gulf of Guinea, with the financing support of the China Development Bank, the construction of the Kaduna-Kano railway in Nigeria by China Civil Engineering Construction Group is steadily progressing, with an overall progress of over 60%. This railway is an important part of Nigeria's national railway network planning "three verticals and five horizontals," with a total length of 203 kilometers. Once completed, it will connect the northern city of Kano with the capital city of Abuja by railway.
