Speaking to journalists on the sidelines, Stolle underscored the importance of Julius Berger’s presence at the summit.
He said: “The sponsorship for Julius Berger is very important. We attended this conference last year, and now it is coming to Benin Republic.
“It is a story that we have to pick up. Let us interact with other agencies, let us interact with other government bodies in all the West African countries that are in the focus of Julius Berger. Let us do the first step here, introduce us to the people, and develop anything that is coming out of it.”

Also speaking, the President of Choiseul Africa, Pascal Lorot, underscored Benin’s rising profile in the region, stating: “Benin today embodies an ambitious Africa that is firmly focused on the future.
