During the meeting, both parties discussed potential avenues for cooperation in areas such as transport planning, infrastructure modernisation and the development of sustainable solutions.
Ineco has received a visit from Mauritania’s Minister of Equipment and Transport, Ely Ould El Veirik, who held an institutional meeting with the company’s President, Sergio Vázquez Torrón, and representatives from the International Business Directorate. The meeting took place against a backdrop of Mauritania’s push to develop its railway infrastructure and strengthen bilateral relations with Spain.
The minister was accompanied by an institutional delegation that included Zeineb Mint Ely Salem, Mauritania’s Ambassador to Spain. The visit highlights the Mauritanian Government’s interest in Spanish technical expertise and experience in the transport and engineering sectors.
During the visit, both parties explored potential lines of cooperation in areas such as transport planning, infrastructure modernisation and the development of sustainable solutions. This talk is part of Ineco’s internationalisation strategy, aimed at strengthening its presence in markets with development potential and consolidating its role as a technical partner in complex projects, while also supporting the international expansion of the business sector and enhancing the collective positioning of the Spain brand, thereby generating opportunities for economic, technical and commercial cooperation.
Mauritania is currently advancing plans to modernise its transport network, particularly in the railway sector, with international investment focused on improving its main logistics corridor linked to the mining industry.
The meeting also provided an opportunity to share Ineco’s experience in the design, execution and supervision of infrastructure projects. This expertise has already been applied in Mauritania through the company’s involvement in the expansion of the Nouadhibou fishing port, one of the country’s main logistics hubs.
In this context, Ineco offers its capacity to support public administrations throughout the entire lifecycle of railway infrastructure projects, from planning through to commissioning and operation. This experience is well established in Spain, where the company has played a role in the development of the national rail network across its various typologies (conventional rail, commuter services, metro systems and freight) and has also been transferred to the international arena.
This track record is reflected in projects such as studies for new railway lines in Morocco (Tangier–Tetouan and Sidi El Aidi–Khouribga–Beni Mellal), the development of demand models and operating plans for the Cairo–Luxor line in Egypt, and its role as shadow operator for the Tren Maya project in Mexico, consolidating Ineco’s position as a technical partner in complex railway projects at every stage of development.
