The director of the International Fair of Kinshasa (FIKIN), Kabampele Ngabul Didier, recently made an update concerning the rumors reporting the halt of the rehabilitation works of the fair by the Turkish company Milvest. Kabampele Ngabul Didier confirmed that the company is indeed present on the site, but that it is still in the installation phase. He also clarified that an agreement has been signed with Milvest, but details will only be released in the near future.
The rehabilitation works of the Kinshasa International Fair, which began in January of this year, will therefore soon be entrusted to the Turkish company specializing in construction. This modernization aims to improve the visitor experience and allow the holding of major international events.
Speaking of the Kinshasa International Fair, it is quite possible to revisit the history of this event which has established itself as an unmissable commercial meeting in Central Africa. Photos of past editions attest to the continued growth of this meeting place so awaited by the city’s economic operators.
