It was a pleasure to welcome Her Excellency Mrs. Ursula Fahringer, Ambassador of the Republic of Austria to the Republic of Sierra Leone, based in Dakar, Sengal to Freetown City Council today. We spoke about the importance of strengthening collaboration and of exploring opportunities for cooperation.
The Freetown Cable Car Project, a significant intervention whose technical and financial studies have recently been completed, was discussed at length. Doppelmayr, one of the world’s leading cable car manufacturers, is an Austrian company and Ambassador Fahringer was pleased to learn that Doppelmayr staff have visited Freetown twice and have provided technical advice to the Freetown Cable Car project team. Engagement with Doppelmayr is continuing in the current phase of structuring the financing for project implementation.
Also at today’s meeting were the Austrian Consul Ram Shankerdas, FCC Foreign Relations Committee Chairperson Cllr Zainab Conteh and Ing Modupe Williams, Freetown Cable Car Project Lead.
