Grant Description
In October 2019, a delegation of architects and audiovisual engineers from China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) visited Guinea to survey a construction site in Koloma district and the municipality of Ratoma for a new National Assembly building and sign a project design agreement.
MOFCOM has reportedly committed at least $30 million — and perhaps as much as $40 million — of grant funding for the National Assembly Building Construction Project.
The project will include three new buildings, including a conference center, office building, and catering complex, as well as supporting facilities such as sports venues, lighting, and walls and will include offices for 600 employees. There will be a hemicycle for 200 deputies and a banquet hall for 400 guests.
The National Assembly Building Construction Project is one of the eight projects agreed upon by the Chinese Government and the Government of Guinea during the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in September 2018.
Some sources suggest that China State Construction Engineering Corporation (Shanghai) and Guangzhou Suike Construction Supervision Co., Ltd. will be responsible for project implementation.
However, in August 2020, the Chinese Ambassador to Guinea announced that the Chinese Government would soon initiate the tendering process for the project.
A foundation stone laying ceremony is scheduled for September 2023 and the project is expected to take 36 months to complete (September 2026).
