Chad's telecom minister, Dr. Boukar Michel, sat down with US Business Commissioner William Flens and embassy official Dr. Arthur James Bell to talk about getting American tech companies into the country's digital buildout. The Americans pointed out that basically nobody from the States is doing business there right now, and they want to change that through partnerships and cash injections.
Michel walked them through Chad's development roadmap targeting artificial intelligence expansion and pushed for formal agreements to lock in collaboration on telecommunications projects. The US side brought up transparency concerns around how market access gets divvied up, and the minister referenced President Mahamat Déby's governance standards as the framework for keeping things clean. Both groups are committed to ramping up American private sector involvement in Chad's tech infrastructure push.
