Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye attended the ceremony and said the highway reflects the "quality of the relations between Senegal and China." He said the project is "particularly important for facilitating travel" in central Senegal and improving connectivity between the central region and other parts of the country.
"The highway, which was due to be delivered at the end of September, is now open to traffic," Faye said.
The president thanked the Chinese side for its support and expressed his willingness to further deepen bilateral relations and advance cooperation with China.
Stretching 99.2 km, the Mbour-Kaolack highway connects the western coastal city of Mbour with Kaolack in central Senegal.

The overall intensity of the COVID-19 wave is comparable to that of the previous two years, with most cases remaining mild, according to Wang.
The monitoring system has not detected any variants that could pose a significant public health risk, nor has the fluctuation of the COVID-19 infections significantly impacted the overall medical order, said Wang. 
China reported 522,000 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases in July, including 487 severe cases and one related death with cases, China CDC said on August 13.
