The Cabinda Water Supply Project in Angola is an international cooperation project with profound significance. Its importance lies not only in the significant improvement of local living conditions, but also in its role as a model of international cooperation, fully demonstrating the outstanding ability and strong strength of Chinese enterprises in overseas infrastructure construction.

This project is the largest water supply project under construction in Angola and the first fast and efficient drinking water supply system in Cabinda Province. The entire process is constructed using Chinese standards, and the main water supply pipeline and water supply network are all made in China. Each batch of materials goes through 15 stages from procurement, shipping, customs clearance, and installation, involving more than 10 domestic and foreign units. Materials such as screws and large water pipelines are transported from China to the construction site. The construction process is during the COVID-19. On the basis of fully preventing and controlling the epidemic and accelerating the construction progress, the project department actively performs its social responsibilities. On the one hand, at the request of the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources of Angola, the project department will give the water truck to the local water company for free use; On the other hand, taking the voluntary water supply for residents near the project site as an opportunity, an average of about 400 job opportunities are provided daily for local residents, solving about 6000 employment opportunities for local residents.

The Cabinda Water Supply Project in Angola is not only the largest water supply project in Angola, but also the first system in Cabinda Province to achieve fast and efficient water supply. It is noteworthy that this project follows Chinese standards throughout the construction process, whether it is the main water supply pipeline or the water supply pipeline network, all made in China, demonstrating the exquisite skills and efficient production capacity of the Chinese manufacturing industry. During the project implementation process, each batch of materials goes through 15 delicate steps from procurement to installation, involving close cooperation from more than 10 domestic and foreign units. All kinds of materials, from screws to large water pipelines, have been carefully selected and strictly inspected to ensure that every piece of material transported from China to the construction site meets project requirements. The construction period of this project coincides with the global COVID-19. Faced with this severe challenge, the project department not only made every effort to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, ensuring the health and safety of construction personnel, but also accelerated the construction progress, demonstrating efficient construction organization and adaptability.

At the same time, the project department also took advantage of the opportunity to provide voluntary water supply to residents near the project site, providing an average of about 400 job opportunities for local residents every day, and solving a total of about 6000 employment problems for local residents, making a positive contribution to local economic development and social stability.

The completion of the Cabinda water supply project in Angola will greatly improve the living conditions and quality of life of local residents. They will no longer be troubled by water scarcity and water quality issues, and can enjoy clean, safe drinking water and more convenient water services. In addition, the project will also provide strong support for the local economic and social development, promoting the prosperity and development of related industries.

As a representative of Chinese enterprises going global, the project team has overcome many difficulties and challenges, and has won widespread praise from the Angolan government and local people for its high standard engineering quality, advanced technical means, and refined project management. Through close cooperation with local governments and enterprises, Chinese enterprises not only bring advanced technology and management experience to the local area, but also inject new vitality into the local economic and social development. This mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation model not only helps to promote the internationalization process of Chinese enterprises, but also lays a solid foundation for promoting friendly relations between China and Angola and deepening international cooperation.
