DRC Will Not Auction Off Its Mineral Resources to US Despite Its Support in Conflict Mediation: President

Earlier, the Trump administration expressed its eagerness to end deadly fighting this year and attract billions in Western investment to the resource-rich region, with the deal’s implementation deadline set for this month.

"We will, as part of this partnership, be working in the development of the mining sectors, developing the value chain, developing infrastructure with a particular emphasis on energy," DRC President Felix Tshisekedi told media on Monday.

Tshisekedi added that the country had already signed a strategic partnership with China and was currently negotiating a similar agreement with the US.

The US-mediated peace deal with Rwanda, signed on June 27, has not eased fighting in eastern Congo, Tshisekedi said, though he thanked President Trump for his efforts.
