DRC President Highlights “Green Corridor” Initiative at WEF 2026 in Davos
Félix Tshisekedi Showcases DRC’s Green Corridor Project at World Economic Forum 2026
The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, participated from Monday, January 19, 2026, in the 56th edition of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.
During sessions focused on technological transformation, energy transition, and climate action, President Tshisekedi highlighted the ambitious “Green Corridor” project.
The flagship initiative, known as the Kivu-Kinshasa Green Corridor, was central to his presentations. This large-scale project, which combined reforestation, regenerative agriculture, and the development of green infrastructure, was presented as a significant contribution to global climate balance.
At the forum, the DRC, which held a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, reaffirmed its commitment to multilateralism, peace, and dialogue as key levers for strengthened international cooperation.
The WEF 2026 brought together more than 2,500 decision-makers from economic, political, scientific, and cultural sectors. The event served as a laboratory for ideas aimed at addressing global challenges.
The DRC’s active participation in the forum demonstrated its intention to play a role that extended beyond the regional level, aligning its national development objectives with major international priorities.
