“The DRC is home to the second largest tropical forest in the world, representing 10% of global biodiversity. The Democratic Republic of Congo is very rich in natural resources. This heritage belongs to the Congolese people. We must ensure that it becomes a source of prosperity and development and not of conflict, rivalry and unsustainable exploitation. Peace and development must go hand in hand, for peace to be sustainable, the voices of women, youth and displaced people must be fully heard in our political, security and judicial processes. »
