Last update: 11 hours agoOil & Gas Exploration: TGS has signed a deal with Equatorial Guinea’s Ministry of Hydrocarbon and Mining Development to build a harmonised offshore MegaSurvey, starting with post-stack reprocessing of about 27,273 km of legacy 2D and around 35,000 sq km of 3D seismic, targeting completion in Q3 2026, with a longer-term plan for a seamless dataset across the Rio del Rey and Rio Muni basins. Bilateral Trade & Industry: During President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo’s State visit to Zimbabwe, the two countries signed four MoUs covering education, trade and economic cooperation, and interpreter/translator training, with leaders urging both public and private sectors to push projects in agriculture, mining, tourism, energy and manufacturing.

Culture & Tourism: Equatorial Guinea’s First Lady delegation joined Zimbabwe’s cultural events at Baradzanwa Cultural Village, spotlighting people-to-people ties that can feed tourism and services. Labour Policy Watch: Kuwait tightened domestic worker recruitment rules, including restrictions affecting Equatorial Guinea among other source countries, a reminder of how Gulf labour corridors can shift quickly.
