Hot news is happening in the province of Haut-Katanga, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as Prime Minister Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde has arrived in Lubumbashi to begin a working visit. This step prepares the ground for the arrival of President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, who will visit the Greater Katanga area.
Warmly welcomed by the governor of the province, Jacques Kyabula, the Prime Minister briefly spoke to the local press, revealing the objectives of the Head of State’s visit. This includes the inauguration and launch of large-scale infrastructure works, with a particular focus on customs and port areas.
President Tshisekedi’s program in Greater Katanga includes a trip to Kasenga territory, where he will inaugurate a school built as part of the 145 Territories Development Program (PDL-145 T) and launch construction work on an important road , in the presence of Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema. This road will connect the two countries and shorten the distance by more than 600 kilometers.
The President’s tour will then continue to Sakania, where several basic infrastructures will be inaugurated. In the province of Lualaba, he will meet the population, inaugurate the trading center and close the seventh edition of the Concrete Expo. Here again, he will launch the first mining fair and inaugurate the building of the Lualaba Provincial Assembly.
This working visit is a crucial moment for the development of Haut-Katanga and Lualaba, with large-scale projects that will help improve infrastructure, strengthen trade and stimulate the region’s economy. The leadership of Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi and the commitment of the Congolese government are highlighted, demonstrating a desire for development and progress for the country.
This visit, marked by inaugurations and launches of important works, will not fail to arouse the interest of local populations, who impatiently await these concrete advances in their daily lives. They thus hope to benefit from economic opportunities and modern infrastructure which will promote sustainable development.
President Tshisekedi and his team are determined to move forward to build a better future for the DRC, by investing in key sectors and ensuring that local populations are the real beneficiaries. This visit to Greater Katanga is one more step in this desire for transformation and development.
