President Félix Tshisekedi hosted two key diplomatic meetings on Thursday evening at statehouse, highlighting both regional cooperation and growing international economic ties.
The first audience was granted to Raymond Zéphirin Mboulou, Minister of the Interior and Decentralization of the Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville), who delivered a special message from President Denis Sassou N’Guesso.
The message reaffirmed the commitment of both Congos to deepen their historic relationship.
“This also strengthens good neighborly relations between those who share borders and languages,” stated Minister Mboulou, emphasizing the cultural and geopolitical bonds between the two nations.
The visit marks a continued effort to boost bilateral cooperation on issues such as border security, trade, and cultural exchange.
Shortly after, President Tshisekedi received Italy’s Ambassador to the DRC, Dino Sorrentino. The ambassador delivered a formal invitation from the Italian Council of Ministers and the European Union, inviting the Congolese head of state to attend a major economic forum in Rome scheduled for June 22.
The upcoming forum is expected to bring together leaders, investors, and policymakers from across Africa and Europe to explore partnerships in trade, infrastructure, and sustainable development.
These back-to-back diplomatic engagements reflect Tshisekedi’s active role in reinforcing both regional unity and the DRC’s global economic integration.
