In the article recently published on the blog, the revisitation of the Chinese contract in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is discussed. President Félix Tshisekedi stressed the importance of this review in order to establish a balanced and beneficial partnership for both parties.
The General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF), headed by Jules Alingete, played a crucial role in the fight against corruption and the evaluation of the Chinese contract. According to the IGF’s findings, Chinese companies generated nearly $10 billion in profits, while the DRC only received about $1 billion. This imbalance led to the need to review the existing contract.
During his recent visit to China, President Tshisekedi announced that Chinese partners were willing to listen to the DRC’s concerns and work together to find a fair solution. This new approach has aroused enthusiasm and hope, demonstrating the desire of both parties to find common ground and guarantee a win-win partnership.
Jules Alingete, as head of the IGF, played a key role in the negotiations for the revisitation of the Chinese contract. His professionalism and integrity have been praised, earning him international recognition, including the Forbes International magazine award. Its commitment to financial transparency and fairness helped highlight the imbalances in the original contract.
It is therefore essential to continue to closely monitor the evolution of this revisitation of the Chinese contract in the DRC. If efforts to establish a more equitable partnership are successful, it could have a significant impact on the country’s economic development and strengthen ties between the DRC and China.
