DRC and Indonesia to Sign Mining and Environmental Cooperation Agreement
The governments of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Indonesia are set to sign a cooperation agreement in the mining and environmental sectors in the coming days.
This was confirmed following a videoconference on Saturday, December 14, 2024, between DRC President Félix Tshisekedi and his newly inaugurated Indonesian counterpart, Prabowo Subianto.
During the exchange, President Subianto extended an official invitation to President Tshisekedi for a state visit to Indonesia in the near future, as announced on the DRC presidency’s X account.
Indonesia, a recognized leader in the mining sector with significant expertise in mineral extraction and processing, will partner with the DRC, which is rich in cobalt, copper, and other minerals vital for electric battery production.
