DRC / President Félix Tshisekedi’s diplomatic marathon in Turkey: Chasing opportunities for his country
President Félix Tshisekedi’s presence in Turkey to participate in the 3rd edition of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum was more than just a protocolary attendance. Instead, this trip served as the backdrop for a series of strategic meetings and crucial negotiations for the future of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Upon his arrival, the Congolese president engaged in a race against time to seek out opportunities that could catalyze the economic and social development of his country.
One of the most notable meetings of the day was the fruitful exchange between President Tshisekedi and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Discussions centered on various subjects of mutual interest, particularly strengthening bilateral economic cooperation.
This meeting underscores President Tshisekedi’s determination to diversify the DRC’s economic partnerships and explore new opportunities for the country’s development.
Another significant milestone of the day was the reception of a delegation from the Turkish Albayrak Group, specializing in construction, public transportation, waste management, and real estate.
The group’s president, Ahmet Albayrak, announced his company’s commitment to public sanitation in Kinshasa. Mr. Albayrak’s statements reveal a promising partnership that promises to provide tangible solutions to the environmental and health challenges facing the Congolese capital.
This active participation in international forums strengthens the DRC’s position on the global diplomatic stage and provides a unique platform to explore new cooperation and development opportunities.
President Félix Tshisekedi’s trip to Turkey was more than just a protocolary stop. It was marked by fruitful meetings and concrete commitments that pave the way for new partnerships and opportunities for the Democratic Republic of Congo. These initiatives reflect President Tshisekedi’s vision and commitment to promoting the economic and social development of his country on the international stage.
