The delegates, who are attending a business forum in the country, visited the Port to assess its importance.
The port is situated 60 kilometres from the city of Nouakchott and 30 Kilometres from the international airport to attract more investment for the nation of Mauritania. The Port welcomes investors and provides lucrative base for fishing, which contributes handsomely to the productive sector of the economy.
On day two of the Nouakchott Business Forum, the participants held a panel discussion on entrepreneurship and on children's education before signing the declaration of Peace Cities, geared towards a more tolerant and stable world. The delegation later had an indoor meeting with the president of Nouakchott Region.
The discussion was mainly centred on the mission and vision of the International Network for African and Arab Journalists (RIJAA). Among other things the discussion included the importance of togetherness and work towards the achievement of a stronger and independent economy for countries in Africa and the Arab world.
The delegation also proceeded to the National Assembly of Mauritania for a meeting with the President of the parliament, who doubles as the second in command after the President of the Republic. The meeting, which lasted for almost an hour, was centred on international diplomacy as an alliance for development.
The National Museum of Mauritania was visited also by the delegation to familiarise themselves with the history of the country and to discern how the museum can attract tourists for increased revenue.
