The British Ambassador to the DRC, Madame Alyson King O.B.E, recently expressed the excellent collaboration between the two countries during an audience with the Congolese Prime Minister, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde.
During this meeting, several subjects of common interest were discussed, but the issue of the ongoing electoral process in the DRC was placed in the foreground. Great Britain is committed to supporting the DRC in this crucial step for the consolidation of Congolese democracy.
Mrs. Alyson King O. B. E underlined that fruitful exchanges took place with the Prime Minister, who assured her that everything is planned for the financing and securing of the elections. Britain has also pledged to provide technical and financial assistance, particularly in terms of election observation, in a country as vast as the DRC.

The importance of democracy and the role of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in supporting democratic principles were also highlighted.
Environmental protection and the preservation of forests in the DRC were also discussed, highlighting the crucial role the country plays as a guardian of precious natural resources. Opportunities for expanding bilateral trade were also discussed, and several events are planned in the coming months to strengthen ties between the two countries.
