Two new diplomatic missions have been entrusted to Ivan Vangu Ngimbi, already ambassador of the Democratic Republic of Congo to Russia. This announcement, made during two presidential ordinances, reveals the Congolese government’s desire to breathe new life into international relations.

This appointment confirms the talent and expertise of this Congolese diplomat, who has distinguished himself through his commitment and strategic vision.
Already when he took office in Moscow, Ivan Vangu Ngimbi had affirmed his desire to strengthen ties between Russia and the DRC, thus continuing the discussions initiated at the Russia-Africa Summit in Sochi in 2019 by President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo. His appointment to these new functions attests to the confidence placed in him to continue this positive dynamic and open up new prospects for cooperation with Azerbaijan and Georgia.
Diplomatic relations between the DRC and Russia, established since 1960, have always been marked by solidarity and mutual support. In this context, the expansion of Ivan Vangu Ngimbi’s scope of intervention to key countries in the Caucasian region demonstrates the DRC’s desire to diversify its partnerships and strengthen its presence on the international scene.
In conclusion, the appointment of Ivan Vangu Ngimbi to new diplomatic functions is a strong signal of the DRC’s commitment to play an active and constructive role on the international scene. His mission, which is in line with the objectives set by President Tshisekedi, paves the way for enhanced cooperation and fruitful exchanges between the DRC, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Ivan Vangu Ngimbi thus embodies the excellence and determination of a new generation of Congolese diplomats, ready to meet the challenges of the contemporary world with boldness and perseverance.
