AVZ Discussion 2022

[Frank]

“I always said that I dreamed of making my country a kind of Germany of Africa” (Tshisekedi)!

President Félix Tshisekedi has not abandoned his commitment to making his country an economic locomotive on the African continent, drawing inspiration from the German model to stimulate the economic development of the DRC.

Indeed, during his visit to Germany, 11 months after his accession to power, he met former Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Berlin, a historic city where the map of the DRC was sketched during the conference of 1884-1885.

Félix Tshisekedi also spoke with the Congolese diaspora in Germany.

In front of an assembly of Congolese, Félix Tshisekedi expressed his desire to see the DRC become the Germany of Africa.

“My mission is to restore the position of the Congo, our country, to its rightful place…

All my interlocutors noted the progress made in the Congo and committed to supporting us to help us steer the Congo towards development.

I committed myself by telling them: come with us and I promise to make Congo the Germany of Africa,” he declared on November 15, 2019.

This year again, at the start of his second term, President Tshisekedi reaffirmed his desire for bilateral collaboration, particularly in terms of infrastructure and clean energy, during his brief visit to Germany.

“I have a lot of admiration for what is being done in Germany.

I have always said that I dreamed of making my country a sort of Germany of Africa, therefore an engine of African development.

When it comes to infrastructure, we have enormous needs, and it is indeed the key to the development of a country.

Whether for road infrastructure or clean energy, especially at the moment.

Congo has assets, but we need investments to develop all of this,” said Félix Tshisekedi in an interview with Deutsche Welle.

During his stay, Head of State Félix Tshisekedi had a one-on-one meeting lasting more than 2 hours with Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Sunday April 28 in Berlin.

Tshisekedi-Macron face-to-face this Tuesday at the Elysée

The President of the Republic, Félix Tshisekedi, began a two-day official visit to France yesterday, Monday, April 29, with a view to strengthening relations between the two countries.

Several subjects will be discussed during his visit, notably the conflict situation in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo and cooperation issues between the two nations.

Upon his arrival in the French capital in the morning, the Congolese Head of State was warmly welcomed by several political figures.

Military honors were paid to him in the courtyard of the Invalides, thus testifying to the respect and esteem accorded to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The highlight of this visit will be the meeting between Félix Tshisekedi and Emmanuel Macron, scheduled for tomorrow at the Elysée.

The stakes of this face-to-face are both diplomatic and economic.

On the diplomatic front, resolving the crisis in the Great Lakes region will also be an item on the agenda, given France's role as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, which could propose resolutions relating to the situation in the east of the country.

Furthermore, President Tshisekedi will also have a meeting planned with French employers, the Movement of Companies of France (MEDEF).

This meeting will explore possibilities for strengthening economic and commercial partnerships between Congolese and French companies, thus promoting the growth and prosperity of both nations.

A DRC-France business forum will be organized in Bercy, headquarters of the French Ministry of the Economy, in the presence of President Tshisekedi.

This event aims to strengthen economic relations between the two countries.

Investment opportunities in the strategic minerals, energy and infrastructure sectors in the DRC will be presented on occasion to French investors.


France reaffirms its support for the economic development of the DRC

Economic cooperation between France and the Democratic Republic of Congo was among the subjects at the center of discussions this Tuesday, April 30 in Paris, between the Congolese President, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, and his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron.

Reporting on this meeting, Emmanuel Macron affirmed his country's desire to support the economic development of the DRC, particularly in the areas of support for critical metals, "sustainable cities" and digital transformation.

As part of strengthening investments and trade between the two countries, he announced the signing of a partnership between the French company Alstrom and Metro-Kin for the construction of an urban train network in Kinshasa.

France also intends to invest in other infrastructure projects, such as the construction of the railway corridor between the DRC and Angola or the extension of the Inga dam, indicated President Macron.

His country will participate with Congolese experts, continued the French head of state, in the mapping of minerals from the DRC, in order to ensure their traceability.

Finally, as part of multi-year partnerships between the two countries, France has supported the Congolese population with around 500 million euros since 2022, in the sectors of health, education, higher education, research, culture. and sports as well as forest protection.

Would love to see @Spikerama 's tax loss counter converted into one which shows what assets could have been bought instead of just dollars lost. Eg $200m represented by 3 x hospital, 50 x schools, ambulances etc

For reference $80m for this hospital...

Haha cheers mate. I did offer to help them a while back but never heard anything.

The website is not so bad. It's a bit bog standard template type thing but I've seen a lot worse. My issue was always with the investor presentations. They could look so much slicker and more professional in terms of design how the information is delivered but it seems to be a running theme with mining companies to have amateur hour designers.

That said I'd still be up for helping them delivering better comms.

Not sure how I could make the counter work that way. It's probably more a series of slides or an infographic that could work to represent that data.

Lets hope for a biding war.

The life of the mine and being likely to be able to influence the spot market should support a healthy premium.

While I agree with your sentiment, my understanding is that the FIRB still has jurisdiction over the sale of Australian companies or their assets to foreigners, which is pretty much how we got in this mess in the first place. This jurisdiction applies to both listed and non-listed (private) companies.

Specifically, foreign persons and entities generally require FIRB approval before acquiring a substantial interest (generally >20%) in an Australian entity that is valued above the relevant monetary threshold. The monetary threshold is A$330 million for investors not from FTA partner countries.

However, if Nigel and team take the business, rename it and domicile it offshore, that's a whole new ball game. Hence the potential to list on another platform such as TSX or LSE.

Cheers

In Paris, Felix Tshisekedi reassures French investors about the business climate in the DRC

The President of the Republic, Felix Tshisekedi, reassured French investors on Tuesday April 30 in Paris about the business climate in the DRC.

In front of French employers, Felix Tshisekedi said: “I’m waiting for you there”.

It was during the business round table co-organized by MEDEF, French employers and the Federation of Congolese Enterprises (FEC) within the premises of the French Ministry of the Economy.

Presenting certain measures put in place, Felix Tshisekedi reassured everyone about the business climate, the first fear of foreign investors attracted to the DRC.

For Felly Samouna, the president of the national SME commission within the FEC, French investors have expressed their desire to return or strengthen their positions in the DRC in the sectors of energy, agriculture, infrastructure and construction of new towns.

This business round table closed with the signing of two contracts.

This is a contract for the valorization of minerals with GECAMINES and another with MetroKin for the construction of an urban train network in Kinshasa.

President Tshisekedi also confirmed France's involvement in the Grand Inga project.

Before leaving France this Wednesday, May 1, the Head of State met the Congolese community in France.

For Christophe Mafuta, a Congolese jurist and researcher in international relations and diplomacy established for many years in Paris, this rapprochement between the DRC and France is a good thing especially given the major role that France plays in international diplomacy.

However, regarding the economic aspect of this visit by Felix Tshisekedi to Paris, this researcher thinks that the Congolese should not be fooled.

“The DRC must take responsibility to clean its image in relation to all the scandals of embezzlement and corruption which are not hidden,” argued Christophe Mafuta.

Plus if we stay listed the Chinese would have a blocking stake on any sale (strategic to their interests) whereas if we’re unlisted it goes to a straight vote which we should easily win given how we all want to move on.

The delisting was more a sign we won’t be looking to mine this and list on the asx, sale would be the primary goal now one would think.

Still can’t help but be disappointed and reminded of how little control one has over their investment with our board now going even darker/less info whilst being paid as if they were a publically listed entity. A lot of trust in management of which I still have little (they’ve been exceptionally greedy in the past).

Wonder if hotcrapper chat can die in the ass now those shorters are going mad over there

 

[Mr_Tones83]

All the 'I told you so'ers coming out of the woodworks on social media now to rub salt into the wounds of holders is so pathetic and just displays a complete lack of class. Dealing with the corrupt scum that have put us in this situation has been mentally draining enough.

I’m sure the French investors can see straight through Felix’ bullshit and lies. Eramet literally left DRC a year ago based on the avz case, I’m sure this was discussed. French much smarter then their DRC counterparts and would see the icc cases the first thing they Google for DD. Encourage everyone to jump over and remind them what’s going on with avz case in currently suspended on twitter for doing just that
