Successful organization of the high-level national workshop scheduled for March 17 to 18, 2026 in Kinshasa, with the objective of increasing productive capacities focused on industrialization, economic diversification and inclusive growth for the promotion of exports of products made in DRC, the Congolese Government through the Ministry of Foreign Trade has just contributed the expertise of eminent university professors.

The Minister of Foreign Trade, Julien Paluku Kahongya, has a technical meeting this Thursday, March 12, 2026 in Kinshasa with university professors from different fields, who will support decision-makers in the development of the country program, as part of the modernization of the partnership between the DRC and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development-UNCTAD.

To make the DRC competitive, the expertise of university professors must be used to create synergy between agricultural, industrial and commercial policy, because the National Workshop will allow experts to identify the obstacles which negatively impact the production, processing and exports of products made in the DRC declared the Minister of Foreign Trade.
