The state is also interested in cooperation in the field of technology, RIA Novosti reports.

Vangu Ngimbi noted that for a long time cooperation between Russia and the DR Congo was based in the political sphere.

“We are trying to fix this, not only to compensate for the lag in the economy, but also to extend cooperation to other areas,” the diplomat added.

During the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, it was reported that Russia would deliver mobile laboratories to the DR Congo to diagnose COVID-19.
