Congo Brazzaville post and telecoms minister Thierry Lézin Moungalla late last week held urgent talks in the capital Brazzaville with a delegation from Google and Oracle on the need to develop high speed internet in this oil-rich Central African nation of five million people.
"This is an exploration mission that forms part of our objectives to contribute to the development of the internet and ICTs in this continent, boost the creation of local business and develop local economies," Tidjane Deme, director of Google Francophone office, said after meeting the minister.
