International Development Committee: The situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Committee hears from witnesses

The International Development Committee will hear oral evidence on the Democratic Republic of Congo, examining the political, security, humanitarian and economic situation in the country. This is likely to cover UK aid policy, mineral supply chains, regional stability, and governance challenges affecting one of Africa's largest nations.

The DRC is strategically important to UK interests: it holds vast mineral reserves (cobalt, copper) critical to UK green energy and technology sectors, affects regional security and migration pressures, and is a major recipient of UK development aid. The Committee's scrutiny influences UK foreign policy and spending priorities in Central Africa.
