DR Congo's Ambassador Invites Russia To Invest In Energy And Mining by Nobody: 2:36pm On Feb 04, 2023

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is inviting Russia to invest in its energy and mining industry, agriculture, and is also interested in cooperation in technology, DRC Ambassador to Russia Ivan Vangu Ngimbi told Sputnik.

"There is a whole range of potential areas for investment from Russia: the energy sector and the mining industry, agriculture, tourism, fishing," the ambassador said, adding that Russian companies are still at the stage of considering possible projects for investment.

According to the diplomat, for a long time, cooperation between Russia and the DR Congo was based on the military-technical sphere. Ngimbi noted that there are other sectors where Kinshasa and Moscow should build cooperation, such as technology, healthcare, water use, and engineering.

“Russia has something to offer African countries. We are slowly discovering these areas for ourselves,” the ambassador said.


The Congolese envoy explained that the two nations have long-standing relations, but they mainly extend in the political sphere, and there is a big lag in terms of economic cooperation.

“We are trying to fix this, not only to compensate for the lag in the economy, but also to extend cooperation to other areas,” he stressed.

Ngimbi pointed out that if a Russian company wants to invest in agriculture in the DRC, the country’s government will be “open” to assist in defining the stages together in order to start doing business.
The diplomat added that there are specific projects in the Congo where Russian companies could invest.

“For example, a project for the development of our 145 regions - in each of them we need to build roads, schools, water supply and solve other administrative issues. This may interest Russian investors, and you can imagine how extensive this program could be,” he said. “Russian companies are still considering possible projects for investment.”

Ambassador Ngimbi confirmed that the DR Congo intends to take part in both the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) and the Russia-Africa Summit that are set to take place in St. Petersburg in June and July of this year, respectively.

Russia and Mali are forging a deep bilateral mutually beneficial relationship focused on security, development, growth, equality and prosperity.
It's already yielding results (I'll post more about it tomorrow).
It makes me very proud as a black man (esp as MALI is an African country that is close to Nigeria and I can always migrate there).
Anywhere outside Nigeria I'll always remain an immigrant so I would have preferred my own motherland replicated the same wisdom.
Although, Nigeria to a large extent is neutral WRT the Rus-Ukrainian conflict, there's still much to be desired.
Nevertheless, I'll take solace in the fact that my brothers next door have gotten the right idea...it makes me very excited.
Nigeria is not the only country on the African continent neither is it the most important but I love and cherish our values smiley

It has been established and it's a fact that the West had engaged in pre colonial, colonial and post colonial exploitation of African resources. The US/West exploits the world through various clandestine activities but most especially it's currency. The economic disparity between the collective west and developing countries can be considered an exploitation or rebranded slavery. The legal minimum wage for jobs in most western countries is the equivalent of $10/hr. For illustration, A factory worker in the US/west earns $15/hr, 8 hours per day in a 5 day work week = about $500 weekly. In 2 weeks time, this factory worker would be able to save about $1000 for a tech product (let's say an iPhone).... I know this worker will have other needs but this is just for illustration. Meanwhile, a factory worker in Nigeria working 8 hours a day..maybe 10K a day ..in a 5 day work week would earn like 50K naira weekly...in 2 weeks, that's 100K naira (less than $250 as of today). Both had the same labour input but the Nigerian was exploited by the hegemon. The West influenced the politics of Africa. Most African countries are still under defacto colonialism. The Western interference in our domestic politics allows them install puppets('African leaders') who in turn give the colonizers a free hand to loot our resources. We can take advantage of the rivalry between the West and East and use it to our own benefit.

Napata77:
THE WEST IS EVERYONE'S DESTINATION BECAUSE THEY'VE CORNERED THE RICHES OF THE WORLD THROUGH MILITARY TERROR AND BRIGANDAGE GOING BACK 1,000 YEARS, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE ANGELS. THE CHINAS AND RUSSIAS OF THE WORLD ARE 'TYRANNICAL' BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO UNITE INTERNALLY TO FIGHT WESTERN IMPERIALISM. IT CANNOT BE DONE VIA 'DEMOCRACY' BECAUSE EVERY NATION IS FILLED WITH SELLOUTS AND TRAITORS READY TO SABOTAGE THEIR NATION FOR A MESS OF POTTAGE.

ParasiteWest:
There cannot be a right government until the West is put in their place. The interest of the West in developing countries is to make sure the developing countries remain impoverished so the citizens of those countries would find migration to the West for 'greener pastures' attractive where they're then exploited and exposed to modern day slavery. Their intent is to keep the West as a 'paradise' in the minds of the manipulated public. The West influenced the politics of Africa directly/indirectly. The right govt will get the 'Gaddafi treatment'
AnyanwuSilas:
I'm an Igbo man and not a Muslim, I know what's good for Africans, it's the West that destabilise our continent and take our best brain, why should I live in the US or RUSSIA when chance is being created by Russia to build my home? Russia have more nuclear warheads than the US, nobody will win a nuclear war, it will simply destroy the world, as an African it's better the world be destroyed and sent back to stone age instead the US will enslave the world, you think Russia is alone? The US are hypocrite, what did Obama do for Africans as a black man? they rather used him to destabilised Africa, was it not Obama that killed Gaddafi, Let’s be Frank, a multipolar world is better than one world order.

More on the indigenous people of Canada.
Canada is an occupied territory.
The westerners invaded, subjugated the indigenous people, exposed them to genocide and continue to exploit thier natural resources.
The Westeeners are trying to do the same thing to Russia.
The head of state of Canada is the British monarch. A sizable number of people are conditioned and configured to believe that the Westerners illegal occupation of Canada and the US is ok. It's not.
The US is an appendage of British Colonialism, the illegal Western immigrants rebelled against the British crown (that's why it has a president as the head of state).
The indigenous people of North America should kick the invaders(westerners) out. Russia should arm these people.
Israel illegally occupies Palestinian territory, where is the global outcry?
The imperialists in the US illegally occupies Syria and steals it's resources..where's the global condemnation?
It's either I'm Pro Russian (wrt the rus-ukr comflict) or neutral because I cannot in good faith support countries that actively engage in the same behaviour they falsely accuse Russia of indulging in.
In addition, I'm an African, the hostility between the West and the East is beneficial to me...it serves as an expedited catalyst for a multipolar world.
Most African countries gained their independence from the West after the USSR became a nuclear armed Country.
The USSR never colonized Africa and they fought against western colonizers in Africa (the fight against apartheid which is a form of Nazism in South Africa is a reputable reference. The South Africans and the USSR emerged victorious).

The Americans did terrible things against their own indigenous people (the Native Americans), they subjected them to dehumanization and carried out a policy of near extermination and genocide against the descendants of the ancient race of North America.

They slaughtered Men women and children in large Numbers, Lakotas were massacred at wounded knee, Comanches were hunted and killed like games, Navaho women and children were forced to walk under harsh conditions and unfriendly terrain for 450 miles as they were being taken to Arizona.

Brave warrior chiricahua Apache leaders like Mangas Colorado, Corchis and the famous Geronimo waged wars of insurrection and resistance against the whites, after members of of the tribes were killed. They were also some native American soux leaders such as Touch the Cloud, Sitting bull and Crazy horse, these men demonstrated admirable courage and fought very hard like Crazy bears against an enemy with Superior weapons.

After the few surviving native Americans were finally taken to the reservations the white men continued to torment these people, they even institutionalized a policy known as "kill the Indian and save the man" they banned native American school children from speaking their language and keeping long hair.

During the Nuremberg trials after WW2, Hermann Goering a powerful German figure who played a major role during the war, told the Americans that you accused us of killing the Jews, what about you Americans who slaughtered you indigenous people for centuries and brought terror upon them, how do you even treat your Blacks?"
