WOW! WOW! Congo is becoming the international magnet. Russia is late to the party. So far, China seems to have the best seat at the table.
DR Congo FM to Visit Russia in nearly 50 Years
Foreign Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), Alexis Thambwe Mwamba, will visit Russia from April 5 to April 9, a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Friday.
"This is the first similar visit since our countries established diplomatic relations in July 1960," the Itar-Tass news agency quoted the spokesman Andrei Nesterenko as saying.
Mwamba and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov will discuss "international problems, the situation in Africa, particularly the settlement of the conflict in the Great Lakes region," said Nesterenko.
The Russian government has decided to allocate a humanitarian aid of two million U.S. dollars to DR Congo, "due to a difficult socioeconomic situation in the country and the crisis in eastern Congo," the Russian diplomat added.
