The Congolese Minister of Industry, Julien Paluku Kahongya, and the Honorary President of the Federal Parliament of Belgium, current Minister of State, André Flahaut, exchanged, on Monday June 27, 2022, in Kinshasa, on the will of the Kingdom of Belgium through its companies to support the DRC in the installation of a precursor electric battery factory in the province of Haut-Katanga.
This desire is indeed manifested in the context of the establishment of Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
“My visit to Kinshasa falls within the framework of the extension of all the events that occurred in the DRC several weeks ago, both in terms of history, memory, royal visit and the wish expressed, both by the Congolese and Belgian authorities, to energize and boost our partnership in the economic and industrial field. I exchanged views with the supervision of the Congolese Industry sector, a sector which abounds in vectors for the economic development of the DRC and to see how to find partners for the finalization of these industrial projects. “, did he declare.
The Belgian Minister of State invited the Minister of Industry, Julien Paluku, to come to Brussels for direct contacts with Belgian companies with the aim of consolidating this partnership.
