The Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo "would never sign an agreement that rewards the aggression of another nation," according to the Prime Minister, at the closing, Friday, June 13, 2025 in Lubumbashi (Haut-Katanga), of the 20th edition of "DRC mining week 2025", according to a statement.
"The Government would never sign an agreement that rewards the aggression of another nation against us. Our commitment is to protect the legitimate interests of the Congolese people, today and for future generations, "said Judith Suminwa Prime Minister, quoted in the statement.
It also took the opportunity to hammer on the inflexible position of the Congolese Government in the face of external pressures.
With regard to the energy transition and local transformation, the Head of the National Executive highlighted the inseparable link between mining and the energy transition, announcing major reforms to strengthen hydroelectric capacities and attract private investors.
"Mining development cannot take done on the sidelines of the energy transition. These two dimensions are essential to meet the needs of our economic growth and support the global decarbonization dynamic. Our subsoil is a strategic lever to build a sustainable and inclusive model," she said.
Judith Suminwa presented the Lobito corridor railway project as a logistical and economic priority, aimed at transforming the DRC into an industrial and mining hub.
“The Lobito Corridor must become a real development corridor, with integrated industrial poles and special economic zones. It will allow better regional integration and will enhance our resources such as copper and cobalt, for the benefit of our populations, "added the Head of Government, while recalling the recent economic advances hailed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Rating Agencies.
"The heart of Greater Congo beats with courage and pride. We will lead this fight until the final victory, "she concluded.
The closing ceremony of the "DRC Mining Week" ended on a note of hope, with the promise of win-win partnerships and more transparent mining governance, at the service of the Congolese people.

It was initially sprouted as the Security for Minerals deal . Felix has a security problem . He approached the US for assistance . If an outcome re peace deal is not forthcoming doesn't Felix still have the same security problem ? Security for Minerals.What about the possibility of a mineral for security with DRC and USA being signed without involvement of Rwanda?

2 pagesLost a page???? WTF?
Yep, deleted all of mine - quite a few pagesDon’t panic, I’m just clearing out my “off topic” posts from the past 3 weeks on troll patrol. I guess the others are too
as per the DRC they keep yanking the chain. We need to move forward"The United States Government has encouraged the parties to take whatever steps are necessary to allow for a climate conducive to discussions leading to a meaningful settlement between the DRC and AVZ. This has resulted in a temporary suspension of the ICSID proceedings until 23 June 2025."
The US Government want this settled without legal process . Which means no ICSID while the US is involved . IMO

Yup. Agree. Just to goodness we're not left hanging come the end of the week. Surely the BOD know now if deal done or not.6 days - getting to the pointy end. I would like to be a fly on the wall where Nigel and DLA Piper are discussing there next step. There is a diminishing chance of a peace deal in the next week, so the DRC either front up in Washington or come up with some reason why we should extend the stay of court proceedings. Something like a mining
Agree . However how can Felix afford to be dragged to the ICSID after just having put together his A team to oversee US interests/anti corruption ? Shooting oneself in the foot comes to mind. If the US/DRC want Manono then I don't see how the ICSID goes ahead .Zero chance . IMOas per the DRC they keep yanking the chain. We need to move forward
