Once hailed as a symbol of China-Africa friendship, the 1,860-kilometer railway linking the Port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia is set for a comprehensive upgrade under a proposed 30-year concession agreement with China Civil Engineering Construction. 1 The Beijing Summit and Ninth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) was held in Beijing from September 4 to 6, 2024. Africa has made remarkable strides across many development metrics, significantly improving life expectancy, literacy, health, and education. With its population set to double to around 2 billion by 2050, Africa's economic trajectory will increasingly shape global dynamics. Photo: VCG The grand dams, whistling trains, bustling stadiums, magnificent parliament buildings, and various factories - these impressive projects of China-Africa. China's diverse cooperation with Africa, particularly in infrastructure, is transforming the continent with projects like roads, railways, bridges, ports, schools, hospitals, and power stations, fostering connectivity and promising a brighter future.

Proposal The idea for a Scotland to Northern Ireland Bridge, sometimes branded in the press as the "Celtic Crossing" or "Irish Sea Bridge", was revived in January 2018 by Professor Alan Dunlop of the University of Liverpool. He proposed a combined road and rail crossing between Portpatrick, in Dumfries and Galloway, and Larne in Northern Ireland, claiming that his rough estimates showed it wou. So far the project has at various times received support from senior politicians in both the UK and in Ireland, and across a number of political parties.
