Before opening the official proceedings, the Head of State presented the minister with a bouquet of flowers as a symbolic gesture of recognition for her outstanding contribution to the country’s foreign policy and international influence. The tribute was met with warm applause from members of the government and signaled a strong endorsement of her leadership.
Since assuming office, Minister Wagner has led a revitalization of the DRC’s diplomacy, expanding bilateral partnerships and strengthening the country’s role in multilateral organizations. Under her direction, the DRC has re-engaged with key global partners and repositioned itself as a credible and proactive player on the African and international scenes.
She has successfully advanced strategic cooperation agreements in critical sectors such as energy, agriculture, infrastructure, and education. Her leadership has also ensured the DRC’s high-level participation in major global forums, including the African Union Summits, the EU-Africa Forum, and key meetings within the Francophonie.
Minister Wagner has been particularly active in defending the DRC’s sovereignty, especially concerning the ongoing instability in the eastern regions of the country. She has led forceful diplomatic campaigns denouncing foreign support to armed groups operating in Congolese territory and advocating for greater international accountability and support for peace.
Her efforts have contributed to resolutions favorable to the DRC within the United Nations and African Union, reinforcing calls for regional cooperation and justice in the Great Lakes region.
With a focus on sustainable development, Wagner has expanded the scope of diplomacy to include economic and cultural dimensions. She has spearheaded economic missions abroad to attract foreign investment and promote the DRC as a reliable destination for long-term partnerships.
Culturally, she has worked to raise the DRC’s profile in the Francophone world by supporting French-language education, cultural exchange initiatives, and the promotion of Congolese arts and heritage on the global stage.
The recognition by President Tshisekedi underscores the government’s appreciation for the Minister’s commitment, strategic vision, and tangible results. Her approach firm, forward-thinking, and diplomatic has helped restore international confidence in the DRC’s foreign policy and significantly improved its global positioning.
The Council of Ministers meeting continued with deliberations on key national issues, including security, economic reforms, public governance, and regional development strategies.
