Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair praises Togo’s business environment

(Togo First) - Yesterday, Nov. 21, Togo’s President, Faure Gnassingbé received UK’s former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, head of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.

Blair during the meeting lauded Togo’s business environment indicating that it is favorable to foreign investments. “Now, investors can be attracted here”, said the former minister whose institution supports the implementation of Togo’s 2018-2022 national development plan.  

Tony Blair attributes the country’s attractiveness to foreign investments to “major decisions”  taken by its authorities. Actually, these efforts helped Togo gain 19 places in the 2019 Doing Business.

Blair said he has great faith in Togo’s potential to develop, emphasizing on one of its main assets: its deep-water modern port. He added that his institution is ready to provide Lomé with the necessary support to make it a regional logistics hub.
