[00:00:35] Hello everyone and welcome to this
[00:00:36] signed in Pointe Noire between the municipality
[00:00:38] and the improvement of morning news session on Télé Congo, which opens directly with this news: Deputy Prime Minister
[00:00:41] Jean-Jacques Bouia, in charge of the coordination of development infrastructure and
[00:00:45] spatial planning, had a
[00:00:47] the transaction. To make your working session with a delegation from the World Bank led by its Central
[00:00:50] Africa director. The two parties discussed infrastructure
[00:00:54] projects for several
[00:00:55] sectors.
[00:01:01] The strengthening and improvement of the quality of electricity services
[00:01:05] through the Pazel project, the presentation of the World Bank's
[00:01:08] portfolio in Congo through about ten
[00:01:12] projects mainly affecting the socio-economic life of the
[00:01:15] population, as well as the
[00:01:16] 4th edition of the colloquium of finalization of priority issues in order
[00:01:19] life. Through my voice, the government of to accelerate institutional governance reforms
[00:01:22] through sustainable services, these were all topics that
[00:01:25] were discussed during the exchanges between the Deputy Prime
[00:01:28] Minister in charge of the coordination of development
[00:01:31] infrastructure and spatial planning, Jean-Jacques Bouyat, and the
[00:01:35] delegation of the World Bank
[00:01:38] allowed participants in the 4th colloquium of Group led by its Central Africa Division
[00:01:40] director, Check. Following our
[00:01:44] discussions that began in
[00:01:46] session with the members of Washington with His Excellency the Deputy Prime Minister. These
[00:01:49] discussions had been held between
[00:01:53] himself and our Vice President for the East and Central African
[00:01:57] region, uh, it was about, for this meeting
[00:02:00] today,
[00:02:03] city of Dolisi, capital of to see to what extent the discussions that had retained some main
[00:02:07] axes, how these discussions were able to help us
[00:02:10] move forward. We have notably reviewed the important
[00:02:14] portfolio of the World Bank Group here in the Republic of
[00:02:17] Congo. Today we are financing more than
[00:02:20] ten projects for 1.2 billion US
[00:02:24] dollars. The Deputy Prime Minister wants the implementation
[00:02:27] of these projects to be accelerated. We discussed
[00:02:30] that, uh, it mainly concerns priority projects like the one
[00:02:34] uh on the
[00:02:37] improvement of electricity supply. It is
[00:02:40] about a new project
[00:02:43] Baflorie district, not far from also on urban resilience that finances
[00:02:47] capital, liquidity, neighborhoods, the development of urban roads. It is also about
[00:02:49] navigability projects on Luubangi that goes to Bangui, and we
[00:02:54] of Africa welcomes have retained a concrete action plan under the
[00:02:57] leadership of the Deputy Prime Minister. We hope uh... that with the implementation
[00:03:00] of this roadmap, the populations will begin to see
[00:03:04] concrete results. This working session was also an opportunity for
[00:03:08] the World Bank delegation to present its new resident
[00:03:11] representative in Congo, Charlotte Nao Sako, to the Deputy Prime
[00:03:15] Minister, Jean-Jacques Uya. 5 months
[00:03:18] foremost is peace, since the President after obtaining its distribution and marketing authorization for petroleum
[00:03:22] products, the Sino-Congolese Investment Company inaugurated its very first service station in
[00:03:26] Pointe Noire, with the ambition of deploying its network across the entire country.
[00:03:33] In Pointe Noire, the economic capital, the main
[00:03:37] oil center of Congo, the Sino-Congolese
[00:03:39] Investment Company is entering the petroleum product distribution
[00:03:43] sector with the opening of its first service station, a
[00:03:47] step that comes only 5 months after
[00:03:51] delegation from the civil security of obtaining its distribution and marketing authorization for petroleum
[00:03:55] products. The deployment of the distribution network of the... Congolese
[00:03:59] investment, only 5 months after obtaining its
[00:04:06] civil security command of obviously our counterparts from West distribution and marketing authorization for petroleum products, is part of the vision of His Excellency, Mr. Denis
[00:04:10] Sasungesso, President of the Republic, Head of State, implemented
[00:04:14] by the government under the authority of the Prime Minister, Head of
[00:04:18] Government, Mr. Anatole Coliné Macoso.
[00:04:21] In the hydrocarbon sector, this
[00:04:24] vision recommends that we sustainably guarantee
[00:04:27] the availability and
[00:04:30] accessibility of petroleum products throughout
[00:04:33] the national territory, while promoting
[00:04:36] the modernization and expansion of our distribution
[00:04:39] capacities. The event is not limited to the opening of a new
[00:04:43] station. The infrastructure introduces an unprecedented
[00:04:46] offer in Congo: natural gas for
[00:04:49] vehicles, an innovation highlighted by the Minister of
[00:04:53] Hydrocarbons Stemplice Onanga. This new
[00:04:57] station also has a particularity.
[00:05:00] The introduction of a new concept in the ecosystem of the distribution
[00:05:04] and marketing of petroleum products in the Republic of
[00:05:07] yesterday at the stele dedicated to the victims of Congo, that of the marketing of liquefied
[00:05:11] natural gas fuel.
[00:05:15] Its use, particularly in heavy transport,
[00:05:19] offers several advantages.
[00:05:21] As an alternative to conventional fuels, LNG
[00:05:24] fuel can contribute to better control
[00:05:28] of transport operating costs.
[00:05:30] This
[00:05:33] ceremony is much more than the opening of new
[00:05:36] commercial infrastructure. It marks an important
[00:05:39] step in our common will to
[00:05:43] contribute to the development of the energy sector, the modernization
[00:05:47] of infrastructure
[00:05:51] service offerings for populations, businesses, and various
[00:05:54] economic actors. The construction of this station primarily
[00:05:58] reflects a conviction:
[00:06:01] energy is one of the essential
[00:06:04] foundations of economic and social development. The
[00:06:07] momentum has been launched after Pointe Noire. The
[00:06:10] SCI announces new stations in Dolisi,
[00:06:14] Brazzaville, and Oyo. For the Minister of Hydrocarbons,
[00:06:18] the challenge is also to support the expansion of the distribution
[00:06:21] network and the emergence of new
[00:06:24] energy offers in Congo. And then the
[00:06:29] the Association of Credit Institutions in Congo and the
[00:06:32] 5th forum of the Club of Banking and Financial Institution Directors of Africa
[00:06:36] concluded yesterday on a note of satisfaction. The work of these sessions
[00:06:39] was closed by the Minister's Chief of Staff. Finance
[00:06:42] report
[00:06:44] Pemba:
[00:06:47] two intense days of exchanges
[00:06:50] the Professional Association of Credit Institutions (APEX Congo) and the
[00:06:54] 5th forum of the Club of Banking and Financial Institution Directors
[00:06:58] of Africa to conduct in-depth reflections through
[00:07:02] different panels around three major sub-themes: financing
[00:07:05] African infrastructures in the era of constrained margins for maneuver,
[00:07:08] financing more without endangering the bank,
[00:07:12] and African financial integration,
[00:07:15] themes that clearly illustrate the current challenges of this
[00:07:18] sector. At the end of the work, here is what resulted: the
[00:07:22] work makes it possible to draw at least the following conclusions:
[00:07:26] Africa has significant resources, we should not doubt that, but
[00:07:29] their mobilization and their transformation and their allocation
[00:07:32] remain insufficient. Secondly, the financing of
[00:07:35] infrastructures cannot rest only on
[00:07:39] the shoulders of commercial banks, it is...
[00:07:42] important to broaden this architecture, financial resilience
[00:07:45] also relies on risk management, the solidity of banks, the
[00:07:49] quality of governance and the ability to absorb things. Regional
[00:07:52] integration cannot remain institutional or legal, it must translate
[00:07:56] into effective circulation of
[00:07:59] savings and financing. For his part, the president of the Club of
[00:08:03] Banking and Financial Institution Directors
[00:08:06] the outcome of these sessions: your active participation, the
[00:08:10] quality of your contributions, the depth... of your analyzes have largely
[00:08:14] contributed to the success of our work. Our exchanges have highlighted
[00:08:18] the need to further strengthen the resilience
[00:08:21] of our institutions, to accelerate financial inclusion, to
[00:08:24] promote innovation and to consolidate cooperation between the
[00:08:28] different actors in the African financial chain. They have above all reaffirmed
[00:08:31] shared conviction: no establishment, no institution and
[00:08:35] no country will be able to overcome the challenges alone
[00:08:38] that arise. Cooperation, innovation and
[00:08:41] solidarity remain essential levers for
[00:08:44] the sustainable transformation of our financial sector. As for the president of APEX
[00:08:48] Congo, he calls on Africa to take responsibility.
[00:08:51] I retain from these exchanges a shared conviction:
[00:08:54] African financial integration will not be decreed
[00:08:58] from outside. It will be built by
[00:09:02] us, leaders of banks and financial
[00:09:05] institutions, in constant dialogue with our
[00:09:08] regulators: the BEAC, the COSUMAF, the
[00:09:11] CIMA, the... BCEAO eventually
[00:09:15] Africa and with the determined support of our
[00:09:19] states and we are closing the curtains on this APEX Congo
[00:09:23] colloquium and this 5th club forum in the name of the Minister of Finance, Budget and
[00:09:26] Public Portfolio, the Chief of Staff returned to the expectations of
[00:09:30] banks and states: it is expected that the banking sector
[00:09:34] will intensify its contribution to the financing of the real economy, which
[00:09:37] develops solutions adapted to long-term needs, and
[00:09:41] that it will participate more in regional
[00:09:44] syndication and co-financing operations.
[00:09:48] The state will offer a stable, advanced
[00:09:51] and predictable framework. Regional institutions must facilitate
[00:09:54] the convergence of rules and the depth of markets.
[00:09:58] It is through this clear division of responsibilities
[00:10:02] that we will transform the conclusions of
[00:10:05] Brazzaville into measurable results. After
[00:10:09] Brazzaville, the next meeting is therefore scheduled for February
[00:10:13] 2027 in N'Djamena, Chad. In another
[00:10:16] part of the news, a bouquet of flowers
[00:10:20] the bombing of UTA Boeing 772 by the Minister
[00:10:23] of Land Affairs and Public Domain. This
[00:10:28] is a duty of remembrance that the government cannot shirk, as Ben Open explains.
[00:10:32] Open.
[00:10:38] September 19, 1989, September 19,
[00:10:41] 2026, it has been exactly 37 years since the
[00:10:45] UTA airline's Boeing DC10 which was trying to connect
[00:10:48] Brazzaville, N'Djamena and Paris with about
[00:10:51] a hundred passengers on board,
[00:10:55] exploded in mid-air in the Ténéré Desert between N'Djamena and
[00:10:58] Paris. Among its victims were some Congolese
[00:11:02] families. This day, September 19, 2026,
[00:11:05] and for the past 37 years, the government of the
[00:11:08] Republic remembers its sons and daughters, a duty of remembrance
[00:11:12] that cannot be shirked. This year again, the ritual was
[00:11:16] observed and performed by the Minister of Land Affairs and Public
[00:11:20] Domain, Jean-Mark Ticer Chikaya, replacing the Minister of
[00:11:23] Transport of... Civil Aviation and Merchant Marine,
[00:11:27] Joseph Gonimba, who was unable to attend. In the name of the
[00:11:30] government, we therefore have a duty of remembrance, but also
[00:11:34] a duty of transmission to future generations, beyond
[00:11:38] this duty of commemoration, peace,
[00:11:41] justice and respect for human
[00:11:44] the Republic expresses all its
[00:11:47] compassion and solidarity to the
[00:11:51] grieving families. The reports of the civil aviation inspectors indicated
[00:11:55] a heinous and reprehensible terrorist act.
[00:11:58] A phrase comes to mind in this moment of
[00:12:02] remembrance and in this painful moment: never
[00:12:06] again, never again
[00:12:09] such a violent
[00:12:12] terrorist act. The fight against terrorism is relentless
[00:12:16] and states are taking adequate measures to protect themselves from
[00:12:20] such acts, including the Republic of Congo. As far as
[00:12:23] the Republic of Congo is concerned, we have... so a whole system that is put in
[00:12:27] place by the legislative framework, the regulatory framework,
[00:12:31] we have the supervisory authority which is
[00:12:35] n. So you have the state services, mainly the intelligence
[00:12:38] services because security relies mainly on
[00:12:41] intelligence which allows to assess the threat to
[00:12:45] the state. Then you have the implementation services, the
[00:12:49] police, the gendarmerie, the customs, the additional services that are
[00:12:53] provided by companies of...
[00:12:55] and in fact we have the whole population because security is not
[00:12:59] everyone's business but it is everyone's business and so each of
[00:13:02] us is called to be vigilant to ensure
[00:13:05] that this kind of act does not happen again. During the last meeting
[00:13:09] we had of the national security committee, we adopted a certain number of actions that
[00:13:13] go towards raising awareness among the populations but also among the
[00:13:16] political and military authorities to ensure
[00:13:20] that every day that passes this strengthening is
[00:13:23] established and that the populations are safe
[00:13:27] from this kind of situation. This painful moment is an opportunity for the
[00:13:30] government of the Republic to reaffirm its unwavering
[00:13:34] solidarity with the families and to commit absolutely to
[00:13:37] air safety and security. This is the vision of
[00:13:41] the head of the transport department,
[00:13:43] Joseph, in his capacity as president of the national
[00:13:47] security committee, in accordance with the instructions of the
[00:13:50] president of the Republic, for whom peace is
[00:13:54] heaven. A delegation from the civil security of the
[00:13:57] DRC, led by Colonel Bikela, special advisor to the
[00:14:00] governor of Kinshasa, held a working session with the Brazzaville command in
[00:14:04] the midst of exchanges, sharing experiences and strengthening cooperation
[00:14:08] between the two Congos in terms of civil protection. This is a
[00:14:11] report from the past: a
[00:14:16] the Democratic Republic of Congo is currently in
[00:14:19] Brazzaville. The delegation is led by Colonel
[00:14:23] Mimi Bikela, special advisor to the governor of
[00:14:26] Kinshasa. She had a working session with the members of the
[00:14:31] the Republic of Congo. The session, which took place at the command's
[00:14:35] headquarters, focused on the exchange of experience between the two countries in the field of
[00:14:39] civil security, as specified by Colonel Mimi
[00:14:42] Bikela, special advisor to the governor of
[00:14:45] Kinshasa. Beyond our experience, we understood that we really
[00:14:49] need to exchange a lot because there is the expertise
[00:14:53] that we have and we still have. Also found a lot more
[00:14:56] development, especially the way to intervene, on this side here, we
[00:15:00] found that the intervention called firefighter was at the level within the police, while
[00:15:03] for us it's at the city level, so it's something uh that we
[00:15:07] can after the report to the governor see how to adapt
[00:15:11] or mix or know how to copy
[00:15:14] uh the way the teams intervene. Lieutenant
[00:15:18] Colonel of Police Jiscelinzok Kenolo, territorial
[00:15:21] commander of civil security in Brazzaville, appreciates the approach
[00:15:24] of his counterparts from the Democratic Republic of Congo. We
[00:15:28] find that it is a very good approach, because you see what
[00:15:32] is happening in the world, when there is a situation, I can only take
[00:15:35] Europe, in Spain. The French, the firefighters
[00:15:39] go to support the others, so it's a good
[00:15:42] approach because Kinshasa and Brazzaville are the closest
[00:15:46] cities in the world, so there can be a problem in Brazzaville and
[00:15:50] our friends, the firefighters of Kinshasa, can come and
[00:15:53] support us. As for a problem, we will also go to support them,
[00:15:57] so it's a very good approach that we appreciated. At the
[00:16:01] end of the working session, the DRC delegation was given a
[00:16:04] tour of the premises that house the services of the... civil
[00:16:08] security command. In health, a memorandum was
[00:16:14] of the Congolese economic capital and the Chinese city of
[00:16:17] Suzhou. This partnership aims to support traditional Chinese medicine through
[00:16:20] the establishment of a pharmacy dedicated to traditional Chinese health products in Pointe
[00:16:24] Noire. This is a report by Lena Bota.
[00:16:28] The partnership between Pointe Noire and Suzhou is now taking
[00:16:31] shape. The two parties have formalized their commitment by signing
[00:16:35] a memorandum concerning the support of traditional
[00:16:39] Chinese medicine, thus paving the way for
[00:16:42] cooperation in the field of health. It's a
[00:16:45] memorandum signed between the traditional medicine
[00:16:49] center of the city of Suzhou and our ally at the city hall of
[00:16:52] Pointe-Noire. This is a memorandum that will cover
[00:16:56] care. The traditional medicine of Suzhou
[00:17:00] Hospital will bring its expertise to our
[00:17:03] municipal medico-social center of the Chinese delegation. Led
[00:17:07] by Luzipping, it then headed to the municipal
[00:17:10] medico-social center, a site
[00:17:13] intended to host the Chionchi plantation as
[00:17:16] part of this operation. On the sidelines of this visit, the
[00:17:20] Chinese delegation had a working
[00:17:24] the executive and the advisors who participated in the mission to
[00:17:28] Suzhou. In 2016, the city of
[00:17:31] Suzhou and the city of Pointe Noire signed a twinning agreement
[00:17:35] under the witness. of
[00:17:38] Presidents Xi Jinping and President Sassou, and
[00:17:41] so this time we have
[00:17:44] come to Pointe Noire to promote exchange
[00:17:47] on the areas of medical
[00:17:51] talent training and we
[00:17:54] will also conduct a free medical
[00:17:57] consultation. The visit is part of the
[00:18:01] continuity of the mission carried out last May in Suzhou by
[00:18:04] the municipal executive with the ambition of
[00:18:08] transforming the commitments made in China into concrete actions for the benefit of
[00:18:12] the populations. Let's return to Brazzaville. A few days after his installation,
[00:18:16] the administrator of the 7th arrondissement , Filou, went to
[00:18:19] Katenard to make contact with the population, as
[00:18:22] Ev Delise Merci explains here. This
[00:18:26] is his very first outing since his installation at the head of the 7th arrondissement
[00:18:29] of Brazzaville, Filunga Maba. For this first field visit, Jean
[00:18:33] Christos Tom Ngoma chose to meet the populations of the Setondis
[00:18:37] district, one of the most difficult-to-access districts of the arrondissement. This
[00:18:41] initial contact also allowed the administrator to present to the local
[00:18:44] forces of the district the main orientations of his governance policy. Among the
[00:18:48] priorities displayed, sanitation, the fight against
[00:18:50] banditry, and noise pollution. The message first and
[00:18:56] of the Republic, His Excellency Mr. Denis
[00:19:00] Sassou Nguesso, makes peace
[00:19:03] a priority. Without peace, we cannot
[00:19:06] live in... serenity, living together. I
[00:19:10] noticed, people are here peacefully, they
[00:19:13] received me uh in
[00:19:16] peace and tranquility. We have seen
[00:19:19] the state of the road. We will report what we have
[00:19:22] observed to the appropriate authorities. Truly, I have seen firsthand,
[00:19:26] it is difficult. The public service will make an effort
[00:19:30] for everything to be installed in this neighborhood. This proximity
[00:19:33] approach already seems to be finding a favorable echo among the residents. The
[00:19:37] meeting especially allowed the population to present their main
[00:19:40] concerns to the administrator-mayor, foremost among them, the
[00:19:43] difficulties of access to the neighborhood, which is almost isolated due to the severely
[00:19:47] degraded state of its main access road. This is a great victory for
[00:19:51] us because currently, when we do
[00:19:54] sanitation, he first took the first step in our neighborhood to say,
[00:19:57] "Do what I did." So for
[00:20:01] us, it's already a step that we
[00:20:04] have gained because Mr. Mayor...
[00:20:07] us the example and we will follow this example, told the mayor
[00:20:11] to fix the road for us, we are used to entering in the mud
[00:20:15] to enter, sometimes when it rains, we walk for
[00:20:19] 1 or 3 hours to get here, when the motorcycles
[00:20:23] we pay 200 or 2500, it's too much for us, love in the
[00:20:26] 710 KT Nard district, a series of field
[00:20:30] visits will continue in the various districts of the 7th arrondissement, announced
[00:20:33] Jean-Stostom Guma, an approach that aims for direct contact with the population
[00:20:38] and to better understand the realities they face daily.
[00:20:41] That's the end of this news report. Thank you for watching. Thank you
