Deep-rooted ties firm footing for DRC's modernization

China Daily  

Journalists attend a news conference ahead of the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Beijing on Tuesday. WANG JING/CHINA DAILY Themed "Joining Hands to Advance Modernization and Build a High-Level China-Africa Community with a Shared Future", the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation has brought together African leaders, including Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshisekedi, in Beijing. The Democratic Republic of Congo's longstanding cooperation with China offers a glimpse of how these deep-rooted ties are promoting the modernization of the African continent. As for the Democratic Republic of Congo's relations with China, history tells us that the first Chinese nationals to set foot on the now DRC's soil helped build the Matadi-Kinshasa railway in the 1890s. Economic cooperation with China, including the launching of jointcapital companies or companies with Chinese capital, has helped the DRC re-emerge on the international circuit of trade, from which it found itself excluded for several decades.
