Title: China maintains its commitment to the DRC to preserve its national sovereignty
Introduction :
China is not weakening in its historic partnership with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). During the celebration of the 74th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Chinese Ambassador to the DRC Zhao Bin reaffirmed China’s commitment to supporting efforts to preserve national sovereignty, security and of the territorial integrity of the DRC. This close cooperation between the two countries is based on cooperation agreements in various sectors such as mining, infrastructure, green economy and digital economy.

In a context where the security issue remains worrying in the DRC, China affirms its support for the efforts made by the country to restore peace and security throughout its territory. The Chinese ambassador stressed that China is ready to work together with the DRC to resolve conflicts and maintain world peace. China, as one of the main contributors of soldiers and police to UN peacekeeping missions, is determined to help the DRC overcome the security challenges it faces.
Strengthening Sino-Congolese relations:
Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi’s state visit to China last May further strengthened relations between the two countries. Cooperation agreements have been expanded to include sectors of the future such as the green economy, digital technology and renewable energy. China pledged to support aid projects such as the construction of a cultural and artistic center for Central African countries, a vocational and technical training center in Kolwezi (National Institute of Professional Preparation, INPP) and an agricultural technology demonstration center. These projects demonstrate China’s continued commitment to the DRC and its desire to contribute to its economic and social development.
Conclusion :
China maintains its close cooperation with the DRC and its unwavering support to preserve its national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity. While the security issue remains a major concern, China is committed to continuing its peacekeeping efforts alongside the DRC. In addition, Sino-Congolese relations are strengthening through cooperation agreements in various sectors, demonstrating China’s commitment to supporting the DRC in its economic and social development.
