TOUBA, Senegal, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- "I will tell President Hu Jintao that the construction quality of the Chinese companies is perfect. I am quite satisfied with the work of the Chinese companies," Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade said.

In Touba, a holy city some 200 km east of Dakar, the 83-year-old president visited the modernization and reconstruction project undertaken by China Henan International Cooperation Group Co., Ltd. (CHICO) on Tuesday.

The project, expected to last for five years with an estimated investment of 200 million U.S. dollars, includes the reconstruction of roads, water supply and drainage systems as well as urban forestation.

Since the two countries re-established bilateral relations more than three years ago, China has carried out a series of aid projects in Senegal, including the National Grand Theater in Dakar, an electricity transmission and transformation project in the capital, renovation of 11 provincial and district-level stadiums, and a government network project, the president told Xinhua.
