During the talks in Akorda, President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Felix Tshisekedi spoke on the potential of cooperation with Kazakhstan in processing natural resources.
“As for economic development, our cooperation is focused on very specific prospects. Now we want to structure our shared ambitions around several key areas. First and foremost – natural and mineral resources. Our countries possess a large number of deposits,” Felix Tshisekedi said.
According to him, the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses cobalt and copper reserves, while Kazakhstan has uranium.
“That’s why we can focus our efforts on processing these resources locally. And that’s why I would like to welcome the involvement of the Kazakh company ERG, which has demonstrated that cooperation can be synonymous with sustainable development, respect, and environmental responsibility,” he noted.
