On the morning of July 27 (local time), Eloundou Essomba Gaston, minister of Water Resources and Energy of Cameroon, inspected the site of Sanaga Water Treatment Plant and its supporting projects in Yaounde, Cameroon (hereafter called the 'Cameroon water plant project'). The project, financed by the Export-Import Bank of China and implemented by the 6th Complete Plants Division, is Cameroon's largest international engineering project under construction.

During his visit, Minister Gaston inspected the completed water treatment plant, raw water intake pumping station, a cluster of booster pumping stations, and a cluster of substations, as well as the Niomu booster pumping station and the main pipeline laying site under construction. Mr. Gaston fully recognized the progress and quality of the project, especially congratulated on the 7.5km raw water pipeline passing the one-time test pressure, and spoke highly of the contribution of SINOMACH to the local livelihood construction. The Minister said that Cameroon's water plant project is of great significance to the people of Yaounde and that its completion will greatly improve the living conditions of the citizens and drive local socio-economic development. In conclusion, the Minister encouraged the contractor to make further efforts to partner closely with the Cameroon government to promote the project's progress and complete it on schedule.

Amid the severe COVID-19 situation in Cameroon, the on-site project department of the Cameroon waterwork has taken a duo-pronged approach to the epidemic prevention and control and the safe and orderly advancement of the project construction. The two sides expect the Cameroon water plant project to become a high-quality one marking the milestone of good cooperation between China and Cameroon.
