The 46th edition of the Congo-Kinshasa International Fair (FICKIN) is actively preparing for its opening on December 21. This long-awaited celebration is a major event that arouses the enthusiasm of the inhabitants of Kinshasa and the entire Democratic Republic of Congo. The Minister of Foreign Trade, Julien Paluku, recently spoke about the importance of this socio-economic event which aims to promote the country internationally.
During his inspection visit, Julien Paluku underlined the importance of this edition of FICKIN which will take place from December 21, 2024 to January 20, 2025. He expressed his desire to make this fair a real place of attraction where the DRC can highlight its wealth, dynamism and opportunities. For him, FICKIN must become an unmissable event that will contribute to the influence of Kinshasa and strengthen its economic attractiveness.
The Minister also discussed future projects related to FICKIN, announcing regular editions throughout the year.

Thus, the 46th edition of FICKIN marks the beginning of a new era for this emblematic event. Under the Suminwa government, the international fair is preparing to welcome visitors and exhibitors from around the world to highlight the economic and cultural potential of the DRC. Kinshasa, the world capital of rumba, is preparing to shine brightly at this unique fair, which promises to be an unmissable event for all lovers of Congolese diversity and wealth.
