DESCENT OF MINISTER JULIEN PALUKU KAHONGYA TO THE PEPSI RANGE AND WOODEN TILES PRODUCTION FACTORIES IN THE MALUKU SPECIAL PILOT ECONOMIC ZONE
It is with the aim of protecting local industries in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the jobs they create, and this, after having temporarily banned the importation of beers, drinks, tiles and earthenware that the Minister of Foreign Trade carried out this Monday a raid on the Maluku Pilot Special Economic Zone.
On site, Julien Paluku Kahongya visited the Pepsi-DRC factories of the company VARUN BEVERAGE ready to be inaugurated by the President of the Republic, Félix Tshisekedi, with a production capacity well above local demand; and
The request has already been made by Congo Brazzaville, Cameroon and Gabon.
Just after, he visited the made in Congo tile and earthenware production factories of the company SAPHIR CERAMICS which is now the pride of the Democratic Republic of Congo with production exceeding local demand.
Note that this descent comes just a few hours after the return of the Minister of Foreign Trade from Washington to the United States of America where he secured the organization of the AGOA 2025 Forum next July in Kinshasa, a victory for the commercial and economic diplomacy of the Head of State, Félix Tshisekedi.
