DRC-China aid deal

A colleague of mine who works with the International Crisis Group based in Beijing recently sent me a copy of the contract between the DRC and China on exploitation of mines and construction of infrastructure. You can find a copy of this document here:  drc-chinese-contract (In French).

I also found the following links to be quite useful in shedding light on the DRC-China partnership:
