“Canada-Africa Chamber of Commerce Opens New Opportunities for Investment in the Democratic Republic of Congo”
Prime Minister Judith Suminwa recently encouraged Canadian businesses to seize investment opportunities in the DRC, through the Canada-Africa Chamber of Commerce. At the recent Africa Accelerating 2024 Forum in Ottawa, she stressed the importance of a win-win partnership between Canadian businesses and the Congolese government.
Judith Suminwa met with a delegation from the Canada-Africa Chamber of Commerce, led by Board Chair Paula Caldwell St-Onge, to discuss opportunities for economic collaboration between the two countries. This meeting marks the beginning of growing cooperation, with Canadian businesses expected to arrive in the DRC as early as 2025.
The business climate in the DRC is improving, generating growing interest from Canadian investors. With the determination of the new Congolese leadership, both countries hope to strengthen their trade relations and promote mutually beneficial exchanges.
For Paula Caldwell, the DRC represents an attractive market for many Canadian investors. A solid partnership program is being prepared in various sectors such as mining, agriculture, tourism, green technologies and telecommunications. A visit planned in Kinshasa next year will provide an opportunity to present Canadian companies wishing to establish themselves in the DRC.
The initiative of the Canada-Africa Chamber of Commerce opens new perspectives for investment in the DRC and demonstrates the desire of the two countries to strengthen their economic cooperation. This collaboration promises to be beneficial for Canadian companies and will contribute to the economic development of the DRC.
In conclusion, the partnership between the Canada-Africa Chamber of Commerce and the DRC illustrates the importance of international cooperation to stimulate economic growth and foster the emergence of promising new markets.
