She also revealed that thanks to their discussion, they were able to review “areas of further collaboration like the possibility of extending CAMTEL’s network to Chad via SUDACHAD infrastructure”.

“We have examined many aspects of our relationship and made strong recommendations on how we can grow the business between our two companies,” she added.
