According to Moscow, interaction between Russia and the DRC is currently strong. As a result, there is "potential for expanding trade and economic relations."
In May 2023, as part of preparations for the

St. Petersburg on July 27-28, a delegation from Opora Rossii, a Russian non-profit association promoting entrepreneurship, visited the DRC. It was accompanied by members of Rosselkhoznadzor, Russia's veterinary and phytosanitary watchdog, and the Roscongress Foundation, which organizes major international forums.
The DRC is also home to the Yango cab service, launched in 2022 by the Russian technology group Yandex.

Political dialogue, media interaction, as well as scientific and humanitarian cooperation were also highlighted by Moscow.
