Delighted to find himself “once again in Burkina Faso after FESPACO and SIAO”, the Guinean Minister of Culture, Alpha Soumah magnified the close ties that exist between the two countries.
“The sister country, Guinea will always be alongside Burkina Faso to show that Africa has come together and Africa is indivisible. (…). The Burkinabè desire to consume locally is of very strong inspiration and all of Africa wants to do like that”, he argued.
