Aeroportul de 12,5 miliarde $ al Etiopiei a devenit cel mai nou câmp de confruntare investițională dintre SUA și China în Africa

The competition for influence over major infrastructure projects in Africa is intensifying, particularly regarding the $12.5 billion Bishoftu International Airport in Ethiopia. The U.S. aims to secure a role for its companies amid China's growing presence in the region. U.S. officials are actively engaging with Ethiopian Airlines to ensure American participation, potentially involving Boeing aircraft purchases. The airport, designed to handle 110 million passengers annually, is set to be completed by 2030 and is part of Ethiopia's ambition to become a global aviation hub. This project highlights the strategic rivalry between the U.S. and China in Africa's infrastructure sector.
