The United States of America ready to support the Democratic Republic of Congo in its economic development
In a show of commitment to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a US Congressional delegation, led by Foreign Affairs Committee members John James and Sara Jacobs, recently visited Kinshasa. The purpose of this visit was to discuss economic cooperation between the two countries and explore opportunities for strengthening bilateral relations.
The American delegation expressed its support for the DRC and pledged to support the efforts of the Congolese government in building its economy. According to Sara Jacobs, a member of the Democratic Party, the visit was intended to highlight the importance of the strategic relationship between the United States and the DRC, and to further strengthen it.
During discussions with President Félix Tshisekedi, topics such as human rights, security and the economy were discussed. John James, a member of the Republican Party and chairman of the sub-committee on Africa in the Foreign Affairs Committee, said that the DRC’s greatest resource was its people, and that it was therefore essential to protect the human rights and to enable the Congolese population to benefit from the wealth of the country.
The US delegation also expressed its intention to invest in key sectors such as infrastructure, agriculture, as well as the construction of bridges and railways. The objective is to help the DRC to become an economic leader in Africa and to develop its full potential.
This visit by the American delegation testifies to the growing interest of the United States for the DRC and their desire to contribute to its economic development. Partnerships between the two countries could open up new investment opportunities and boost economic growth in the DRC.
It is important to point out that, according to information from the Congolese presidency, a bipartisan group in the US Congress is currently working on a legislative project aimed at strengthening the strategic partnership between the two countries. This demonstrates the desire of the United States to consolidate its ties with the DRC and to lay the foundations for a solid and lasting economic cooperation.
In conclusion, this visit by the US Congress delegation to the DRC marks an important step in strengthening relations between the two countries. The United States expresses its support and commitment to the DRC and is willing to accompany the Congolese government in its economic development. This promising cooperation opens new perspectives for the DRC and could contribute to its emergence as an economic leader in Africa
