WASHINGTON, D.C. – March 5, 2025 – In a significant move aimed at revitalizing and strengthening diplomatic and economic ties between the United States and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
(DRC), the Government of the DRC has signed a professional services agreement with Scribe Strategies & Advisors, Inc. This collaboration seeks to “MAKE THE US-THE DRC RELATIONSHIP GREAT AGAIN,” fostering increased trade, investment, and bilateral cooperation through active engagement with the Trump Administration.
Under this agreement, Scribe Strategies & Advisors will provide strategic counsel and advocacy to ensure the DRC’s interests are effectively represented in Washington, D.C., particularly by engaging
with the current Administration to highlight the strategic importance of the DRC in global supply chains.
The DRC is renowned for being a world leader in the production of critical and strategic minerals such as copper, coltan, cobalt, and germanium – minerals crucial to the technology and renewable energy sectors, which are areas of priority for the Trump Administration.
“This agreement represents a new chapter in U.S.-DRC relations. With Scribe’s expertise and a direct line to the Trump Administration, we are committed to advancing mutual interests, fostering economic
growth, and strengthening our partnership with the United States in leveraging our leadership in critical mineral production” said Patrick Muyaya Katembwe, Minister of Communication and Media.
Key objectives of the agreement include:
- Strengthening diplomatic relations between the U.S. and DRC, with a focus on highlighting the
geopolitical importance of the DRC’s mineral wealth. - Promoting increased U.S. trade and investment in the DRC, emphasizing the strategic
contributions of the DRC to global technology and energy supply chains. - Enhancing the DRC’s image and visibility in U.S. political and business circles by focusing on
its role as a leading producer of essential minerals. - Providing strategic communications and media relations support to convey the DRC’s pivotal
role in sustainable development and global security. - Assisting in counterterrorism efforts, particularly enhancing stability in regions threatened by groups like M23 insurgents, which pose risks to mineral production continuity.
With this bold initiative, the DRC reaffirms its dedication to constructive international engagement and economic development. By aligning with the Trump Administration’s priorities, both nations look forward to a revitalized and prosperous relationship, underpinned by the DRC’s strategic mineral capacities and “MAKING THE US-THE DRC RELATIONSHIP GREAT AGAIN.”
