Japanese consortium Cojaal and Chinese Citic/CRCC won the tender for the construction of three sections of Algeria's East-West Motorway, Public Works Minister Amar Ghoul announced Saturday (15 April). The first 400km-section will be built by Cojaal. The centre and west section will be built by CRCC. The East-West 1,200km-long motorway will be completed within 40 months and the work will be launched at the end of May.
"The East-West motorway can be considered as the most important project to be carried out in the Mediterranean and Africa," Ghoul stressed. "A budget of over $13 billion has been allocated to the public works sector, to which over $1 billion should be added as part of programmes allocated to the high plateaus and southern regions," he said in an interview with monthly magazine <i>Afrique Asie</i>.

We see in the above picture former transport minister Mohamed Meghlaoui and not the minister of public works Amar Ghoul. I hope that you will correct this error. Thank you.
