China rail company inks $1.4 billion contracts in Africa New Chinese railway construction projects are to be held in Africa equating less than 2 per cent of China railway's 2010 operating income
A subsidiary of China Railway Construction Corp Ltd has signed two projects in Africa with a total contract value of 9.1 billion yuan [$1.45 billion], the company said in a statement to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The value of the projects, located in Nigeria and Djibouti, equates to just under 2 per cent of China Railway's 2010 operating income, the company said.
