Democratic Republic of Congo celebrates Pavilion Day

The Democratic Republic of Congo celebrates its National Pavilion Day today with fabulous dance performances.

The 2010 Expo would help the Democratic Republic of Congo and China strengthen exchange and cooperation in foreign affairs, business, cultural and scientific fields, Bernard Biando Sango, Minister of Commerce and Medium & Small Business of the country, said at this morning's ceremony in the Expo Center.

The Democratic Republic of Congo boasts rich natural and mineral resources, Sango said. He appreciated China's efforts in promoting regional economic integration and multilateral trade. He also elaborated on the country's investment environment in mineral resources, wood, industrial, tourism, banking, insurance and communications.

Wang Sifa, China's deputy commissioner general for World Expo 2010, said the Democratic Republic of Congo is a good partner of China and the two countries have seen fruitful cooperation in trade and economy, culture and education as well as hygiene.

The country's exhibit showcases its coordinated development concept among resources, human beings and cities, which provides a good exploration in urbanization for developing countries, Wang said.

Themed "More Harmonious and Prosperous City, More Treasures," the pavilion presents its vast mineral resources – the nation is famous for diamonds and rare minerals for electronics - and its goals of urban development in balance with nature.

The main area is arranged around a recreated mine - symbol of its wealth, and features dramatic pictures of the natural wealth, splendor and history.
