DR Congo highlights local processing at China mining forum
A Democratic Republic of the Congo delegation emphasized mineral processing and industrial development at the China Mining Conference in Tianjin. Officials presented investment opportunities; no new agreement was announced.
A delegation led by Democratic Republic of the Congo Mines Minister Louis Watum attended the 28th China Mining Conference and Exhibition in Tianjin on 10–12 September. A statement cited by the Agence Congolaise de Presse said the country aims to move beyond extracting and exporting minerals toward local processing, industrialization, skills development and domestic value creation.
At a DRC–China forum alongside the event, mining registry CAMI, Gécamines and FOMIN presented their roles and potential investment opportunities. The report announced no new investment agreement, production volume or capacity increase; it describes the government’s stated direction and its promotion at the conference.
Emirates Global Aluminium said half of the reduction cells at its Abu Dhabi smelter had restarted by 21 October. The cell count tracks restoration progress; it does not by itself show that half of production capacity is back.
