The Francophonies celebrating in Kinshasa: a challenge met despite the obstacles
In a difficult economic context, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) managed to overcome many challenges to organize the IX Games of La Francophonie. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Christophe Lutundula, during the opening ceremony of the event. Despite a last-minute withdrawal from another member country, the DRC took charge of the organization of these games, thus showing its commitment to La Francophonie.
Lutundula pointed out that the infrastructure needed to host the games was fully funded by the Congolese government. Thanks to the personal commitment of the Head of State and his determination, these infrastructures were completed on schedule. The Minister also called on the youth and officials for responsible management, thus ensuring the safety and proper use of these facilities.
However, the organization of this major event is not without difficulties. The financial and economic constraints facing the country make the task more difficult. Despite this, the DRC has risen to the challenge and demonstrated its ability to host international events of this magnitude.
The IX Games of La Francophonie in Kinshasa offer a unique opportunity to celebrate youth, sport and culture. They also represent a means for the DRC to highlight its potential and its dynamism on the international scene. This showcase will not only promote the country, but also strengthen the ties of La Francophonie and promote cultural exchanges between the participating countries.
The games are also an opportunity for Congolese athletes to measure themselves against the best of the Francophonie and show their talent and determination. They will have the chance to represent their country in different sporting disciplines, thus creating a sense of national pride and a source of inspiration for Congolese youth.
Beyond the sporting aspect, the games also promise a rich and diversified cultural program. Shows, concerts and exhibitions will be organized to highlight the cultural wealth of the DRC and promote cultural exchanges between the participating countries.
In conclusion, despite the difficulties encountered, the DRC has successfully taken up the challenge of organizing the IX Games of La Francophonie. This event offers a great opportunity to showcase the country, strengthen the ties of La Francophonie and celebrate youth, sport and culture. We hope that these games will be an opportunity for a fruitful exchange between the different participating countries and that they will leave a positive legacy for the DRC
