Algiers, Algeria | August 16th, 2024 — VMS Industrie, an Algerian company specializing in the production of motorcycles, scooters, and tricycles, is set to make its debut in the Burkinabè market. Based in Béjaïa, VMS Industrie recently hosted a delegation from Burkina Faso as part of its strategic expansion into Africa.

The visit, which took place from August 6 to 9, 2024, featured productive discussions between the two parties. The Burkinabè delegation included Samuel Kalkoundo, Special Advisor to the President of Burkina Faso on Social Cohesion and National Reconciliation; Eli Beliwindé Karim, Head of Studies at the National Bureau of Major Projects; and Drissa Sawadogo, Special Advisor to the President of Burkina Faso on Private Sector Employment and head of the delegation.

According to VMS Industrie, the meeting was pivotal in exploring industrial and commercial cooperation. The visit highlighted the significance of South-South cooperation and the mutual commitment to promoting Algerian products and fostering economic and social development.

The cooperation agreement includes the export and marketing of VMS Industrie products in Burkina Faso, such as motorcycles, tricycles, quads, and three-wheeled utility vehicles. It also encompasses technical assistance for implementing export and distribution strategies tailored to the Burkinabè market and the broader West African and Sahel regions.

In addition to these commercial aspects, the agreement involves cooperation in training and employment promotion, contributing to Burkina Faso’s economic and social development.
