Fatshimetrie: Strengthening cultural cooperation between the DRC and Italy
Cultural cooperation between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Italy is at the heart of the concerns of the authorities of both countries. During a recent meeting between the Congolese Minister of Culture, Yolande Elebe, and the Italian Ambassador Alberto Petrangeli at the end of his diplomatic mission, discussions focused on strengthening the cultural ties that unite the two nations.
Throughout the discussions, it became clear that cultural cooperation between the DRC and Italy has taken shape through various initiatives, such as exhibitions of Congolese artists in Italy and cultural projects led by the Italian Embassy in Kinshasa. These artistic and cultural exchanges contribute to promoting cultural diversity and strengthening the bonds of friendship between the two countries.
One of the perspectives discussed during this meeting is the participation of the DRC in the Milan Triennale, a prestigious international exhibition bringing together creators, architects and artists from all over the world around cultural and artistic innovations. A unique opportunity for the Democratic Republic of Congo to shine on the international artistic scene and promote the richness of its cultural heritage.
The Italian Embassy in Kinshasa is committed to promoting Italian culture in the DRC through various diplomatic, educational, cultural and economic initiatives. The celebration of the 24th edition of the Italian Language Week in the World in Kinshasa is a testament to this commitment to promoting Italian cultural and linguistic heritage. In addition, the opening of a cultural institution dedicated to the promotion of the Italian language and culture in the DRC strengthens the ties of cultural cooperation between the two nations.
In conclusion, cultural cooperation between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Italy is part of a dynamic of sharing, exchange and mutual discovery. These initiatives contribute to enriching intercultural dialogue and strengthening the bonds of friendship between the Congolese and Italian peoples. The cultural field thus offers fertile ground for the development of harmonious and lasting relations between the two countries.
