**Diplomacy and cooperation: Historical ties between Angola and the DRC strengthened**
At the heart of diplomacy between Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo are deep historical ties that transcend political vicissitudes and lead the two countries to strengthen their cooperation. The recent incidents involving road hauliers of goods from Angola were at the center of discussions between the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the DRC and the Angolan Ambassador accredited to Kinshasa.
The Angolan Ambassador, Miguel Da Costa, stressed that despite these incidents, Angola and the DRC remain brother countries, united by unbreakable historical, cultural and ethnic ties. This proximity is manifested through a common border of 2,511 km, but also by the presence of populations sharing common roots on both sides of this border. The Lubas, the Tchokwés, the Bakongo are all peoples whose common history transcends the artificial borders created by colonization.
The geopolitical importance of the DRC is also highlighted by the Angolan ambassador, who emphasizes how the balance of the planet and the power of Africa rest in part on the Congo. This vision allows us to better understand the interdependence of the two countries and the importance of strengthening their collaboration in different areas.
Indeed, cooperation between Angola and the DRC is essential for the economic and social development of the region. Trade, investments and joint projects can contribute to strengthening the stability and prosperity of the two nations. It is therefore essential to overcome the challenges and obstacles that could hinder this fruitful cooperation.
In a global context marked by complex issues and multiple challenges, solidarity and cooperation between peoples are more necessary than ever. The shared history, shared geopolitics and cultural ties between Angola and the DRC provide a solid foundation for building a common and prosperous future for generations to come.
In conclusion, recent incidents should not obscure the depth of relations between Angola and the DRC. On the contrary, these events can be an opportunity to strengthen cooperation and mutual understanding between two brotherly countries, united by a common history and a shared destiny. Diplomacy and cooperation are the keys that will pave the way to a better future for Angola, the DRC and the entire region.
This story of solidarity and mutual commitment between two neighboring and complementary nations illustrates the importance of international relations based on respect, trust and the will to build a promising future together.
