Chaired by His Excellency Guylain Nyembo, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Planning, and Chairman of the Executive Board of the EITI-DRC, a strategic meeting convened the key stakeholders of the Congolese extractive sector.
Among those in attendance were His Excellency Kizito Pakabomba, Minister of Mines and Vice-President of the Executive Committee of the EITI-DRC; Mrs. O’Neige N’Sele Mimpa, Deputy Minister of Finance; as well as Cabinet members of the Head of State, Secretaries General of Public Administration, representatives from the Court of Auditors, and technical and financial partners.
In his address, the Minister of Mines emphasized the significance of the meeting amid the growing global demand for strategic minerals such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel. “The DRC holds the keys to the technologies of the future.
The energy transition represents a unique opportunity for our country, but only if we take full control of it,” he remarked.
