In recent news, the signing of the Sino-Congolese contract renegotiated in 2008 by China and the DR Congo marked an important turning point for the two countries. The ceremony to relaunch the activities of the Sino-Congolese program, chaired by Prime Minister Sama Lukonde, highlighted the importance of this renegotiation for both parties.
At the heart of the discussions was the revision of the minerals contract for infrastructure construction, which was initially signed several years ago. This new step in the relaunch of the program was hailed as a step towards more beneficial choices for the DR Congo.
This news echoes other hot topics, such as the persistent clashes in North Kivu between the FARDC, local groups and the M23/RDF, as well as the lifting of the moratorium on the execution of the death penalty in the DRC, causing concern at the international level. The release of journalist Stanis Bujakera has also been a point of interest in recent news.
To explore and discuss these topics in more depth, renowned guests took the floor, bringing varied perspectives. From Dominique Dinanga, journalist at Radio Top Congo Fm, to Isabelle Pendeza Bikayi, president of the Collective of Women’s Associations for Development (CAFED) in North Kivu, via Louis-Magloire Keumayou, Cameroonian journalist and president of the Club de l African information, the exchanges were rich in information and analyses.
This news highlights the importance of international relations and contractual negotiations in a complex political context.
