During the talks in Akorda, President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Félix Tshisekedi spoke on the potential of cooperation with Kazakhstan in processing natural resources, Kazinform News Agency reports.
“As for economic development, our cooperation is focused on very specific prospects. Now we want to structure our shared ambitions around several key areas. First and foremost - natural and mineral resources. Our countries possess a large number of deposits,” Félix Tshisekedi said.

Earlier, Félix Tshisekedi thanked the President and the entire nation of Kazakhstan for a warm welcome provided to him and his delegation.
