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.<\/p>\n<p>She has successfully advanced strategic cooperation agreements in critical sectors such as energy, agriculture, infrastructure, and education. Her leadership has also ensured the DRC\u2019s high-level participation in major global forums, including the African Union Summits, the EU-Africa Forum, and key meetings within the Francophonie.<\/p>\n<p>Minister Wagner has been particularly active in defending the DRC\u2019s sovereignty, especially concerning the ongoing instability in the eastern regions of the country.
