The visit aimed to explore potential areas of mutual cooperation in industry and trade, with a focus on expanding Egypt's presence in the promising African market and increasing trade volumes in the food processing sector. The meeting was also attended by NZIMOTO KAMESI Junior, First Counselor at the Embassy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Cairo, and Mohamed El-Sherbiny, Chairman of Trust Company for General Supplies and Export, which coordinated the delegation's visit. The event included bilateral meetings with several industrial companies across various sectors. Valéry Moboyi, President of the National Insurance Company of the DRC, also participated, accompanied by a group of Congolese business leaders. Promising Export Opportunities in Africa Eng.

El-Sebai noted that the group aims to double its exports of pasta and concentrates to African markets, asserting that the quality and competitive reputation of Egyptian products enable wide expansion opportunities across the continent. He highlighted the DRC's large population and its strategic position as a gateway to neighboring countries like Zambia, Kenya, and Rwanda, making it a prime target for export growth. El-Sebai also pointed out that the trade volume between Egypt and the DRC remains limited compared to the potential offered by their partnership and the COMESA agreement, which could significantly increase the current trade figure of approximately USD 104 million. Long-Term Strategic Partnerships George Okitalonyi, President of the Congolese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, affirmed that his country sees Egyptian investors as reliable and capable partners who can enter the Congolese market with confidence. He said: "We have witnessed successful cases where Chinese investors started with small projects and became key players. We believe Egyptian investors can achieve even greater success thanks to their experience and capabilities." Okitalonyi emphasized that the DRC is not only seeking short-term commercial relations but is focused on long-term strategic partnerships across sectors such as trade, industry, and infrastructure. He stressed the country's wealth of natural resources and growing demand for high-quality products, calling for serious and committed partners. Government Support from the DRC Rukiya Zady, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Industry in the DRC, expressed her government's full support for Egyptian investors. She stated: "We place Egyptian investment at the top of our priorities and will provide the necessary customs facilities and incentives to ensure a stable and attractive business environment that strengthens our bilateral relations."

She described cooperation with companies like the Egyptian Swiss Group as a genuine win-win opportunity.

Mohamed El-Sherbiny: Political Will Drives Regional Cooperation Mohamed El-Sherbiny, Chairman of Trust Company for General Supplies and Export and coordinator of the Congolese delegation's visit to Egypt, highlighted the political leadership's strategic orientation toward strengthening ties with Africa, particularly with countries such as the DRC. He explained that the company, in line with this policy, has initiated a joint trade exchange program with the DRC, in cooperation with the Congolese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, aiming to open new horizons for economic integration, knowledge exchange, and investment opportunities between the two nations. El-Sherbiny emphasized that this step is part of Trust's broader effort to enhance Egypt's role in Africa through mutually beneficial partnerships that align with both countries' goals for sustainable economic growth and robust trade cooperation. Export Mechanisms and Logistics Discussed The meeting also addressed mechanisms to facilitate the entry of Egyptian products into the Congolese market, including improvements to banking systems, money transfer services, and the identification of optimal shipping routes.
