Guinea opened a new terminal earlier this week as part of a bauxite complex being developed in the West African country by Abu Dhabi investment fund, Mubadala.
Mubadala signed a $5-billion agreement with the country in 2013 to develop a bauxite mine, aluminum refinery and a port in Guinea to secure raw material for the United Arab Emirate's aluminium plants.
The terminal in the new port of Kamsar will be used by the complex as well as by third parties as an alternative to container facilities in Conakry.
“This project remains an important milestone for my development programme for Guinea,” the country’s president, Alpha Conde, said in a statement.
