00:00:35Hello everyone and welcome to this
00:00:36signed in Pointe Noire between the municipality
00:00:38and the improvement of morning news session on Télé Congo, which opens directly with this news: Deputy Prime Minister
00:00:41Jean-Jacques Bouia, in charge of the coordination of development infrastructure and
00:00:45spatial planning, had a
00:00:47the transaction. To make your working session with a delegation from the World Bank led by its Central
00:00:50Africa director. The two parties discussed infrastructure
00:00:54projects for several
00:00:55sectors.
00:01:01The strengthening and improvement of the quality of electricity services
00:01:05through the Pazel project, the presentation of the World Bank's
00:01:08portfolio in Congo through about ten
00:01:12projects mainly affecting the socio-economic life of the
00:01:15population, as well as the
00:01:164th edition of the colloquium of finalization of priority issues in order
00:01:19life. Through my voice, the government of to accelerate institutional governance reforms
00:01:22through sustainable services, these were all topics that
00:01:25were discussed during the exchanges between the Deputy Prime
00:01:28Minister in charge of the coordination of development
00:01:31infrastructure and spatial planning, Jean-Jacques Bouyat, and the
00:01:35delegation of the World Bank
00:01:38allowed participants in the 4th colloquium of Group led by its Central Africa Division
00:01:40director, Check. Following our
00:01:44discussions that began in
00:01:46session with the members of Washington with His Excellency the Deputy Prime Minister. These
00:01:49discussions had been held between
00:01:53himself and our Vice President for the East and Central African
00:01:57region, uh, it was about, for this meeting
00:02:00today,
00:02:03city of Dolisi, capital of to see to what extent the discussions that had retained some main
00:02:07axes, how these discussions were able to help us
00:02:10move forward. We have notably reviewed the important
00:02:14portfolio of the World Bank Group here in the Republic of
00:02:17Congo. Today we are financing more than
00:02:20ten projects for 1.2 billion US
00:02:24dollars. The Deputy Prime Minister wants the implementation
00:02:27of these projects to be accelerated. We discussed
00:02:30that, uh, it mainly concerns priority projects like the one
00:02:34uh on the
00:02:37improvement of electricity supply. It is
00:02:40about a new project
00:02:43Baflorie district, not far from also on urban resilience that finances
00:02:47capital, liquidity, neighborhoods, the development of urban roads. It is also about
00:02:49navigability projects on Luubangi that goes to Bangui, and we
00:02:54of Africa welcomes have retained a concrete action plan under the
00:02:57leadership of the Deputy Prime Minister. We hope uh... that with the implementation
00:03:00of this roadmap, the populations will begin to see
00:03:04concrete results. This working session was also an opportunity for
00:03:08the World Bank delegation to present its new resident
00:03:11representative in Congo, Charlotte Nao Sako, to the Deputy Prime
00:03:15Minister, Jean-Jacques Uya. 5 months
00:03:18foremost is peace, since the President after obtaining its distribution and marketing authorization for petroleum
00:03:22products, the Sino-Congolese Investment Company inaugurated its very first service station in
00:03:26Pointe Noire, with the ambition of deploying its network across the entire country.
00:03:33In Pointe Noire, the economic capital, the main
00:03:37oil center of Congo, the Sino-Congolese
00:03:39Investment Company is entering the petroleum product distribution
00:03:43sector with the opening of its first service station, a
00:03:47step that comes only 5 months after
00:03:51delegation from the civil security of obtaining its distribution and marketing authorization for petroleum
00:03:55products. The deployment of the distribution network of the... Congolese
00:03:59investment, only 5 months after obtaining its
00:04:06civil 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
00:04:10Sasungesso, President of the Republic, Head of State, implemented
00:04:14by the government under the authority of the Prime Minister, Head of
00:04:18Government, Mr. Anatole Coliné Macoso.
00:04:21In the hydrocarbon sector, this
00:04:24vision recommends that we sustainably guarantee
00:04:27the availability and
00:04:30accessibility of petroleum products throughout
00:04:33the national territory, while promoting
00:04:36the modernization and expansion of our distribution
00:04:39capacities. The event is not limited to the opening of a new
00:04:43station. The infrastructure introduces an unprecedented
00:04:46offer in Congo: natural gas for
00:04:49vehicles, an innovation highlighted by the Minister of
00:04:53Hydrocarbons Stemplice Onanga. This new
00:04:57station also has a particularity.
00:05:00The introduction of a new concept in the ecosystem of the distribution
00:05:04and marketing of petroleum products in the Republic of
00:05:07yesterday at the stele dedicated to the victims of Congo, that of the marketing of liquefied
00:05:11natural gas fuel.
00:05:15Its use, particularly in heavy transport,
00:05:19offers several advantages.
00:05:21As an alternative to conventional fuels, LNG
00:05:24fuel can contribute to better control
00:05:28of transport operating costs.
00:05:30This
00:05:33ceremony is much more than the opening of new
00:05:36commercial infrastructure. It marks an important
00:05:39step in our common will to
00:05:43contribute to the development of the energy sector, the modernization
00:05:47of infrastructure
00:05:51service offerings for populations, businesses, and various
00:05:54economic actors. The construction of this station primarily
00:05:58reflects a conviction:
00:06:01energy is one of the essential
00:06:04foundations of economic and social development. The
00:06:07momentum has been launched after Pointe Noire. The
00:06:10SCI announces new stations in Dolisi,
00:06:14Brazzaville, and Oyo. For the Minister of Hydrocarbons,
00:06:18the challenge is also to support the expansion of the distribution
00:06:21network and the emergence of new
00:06:24energy offers in Congo. And then the
00:06:29the Association of Credit Institutions in Congo and the
00:06:325th forum of the Club of Banking and Financial Institution Directors of Africa
00:06:36concluded yesterday on a note of satisfaction. The work of these sessions
00:06:39was closed by the Minister's Chief of Staff. Finance
00:06:42report
00:06:44Pemba:
00:06:47two intense days of exchanges
00:06:50the Professional Association of Credit Institutions (APEX Congo) and the
00:06:545th forum of the Club of Banking and Financial Institution Directors
00:06:58of Africa to conduct in-depth reflections through
00:07:02different panels around three major sub-themes: financing
00:07:05African infrastructures in the era of constrained margins for maneuver,
00:07:08financing more without endangering the bank,
00:07:12and African financial integration,
00:07:15themes that clearly illustrate the current challenges of this
00:07:18sector. At the end of the work, here is what resulted: the
00:07:22work makes it possible to draw at least the following conclusions:
00:07:26Africa has significant resources, we should not doubt that, but
00:07:29their mobilization and their transformation and their allocation
00:07:32remain insufficient. Secondly, the financing of
00:07:35infrastructures cannot rest only on
00:07:39the shoulders of commercial banks, it is...
00:07:42important to broaden this architecture, financial resilience
00:07:45also relies on risk management, the solidity of banks, the
00:07:49quality of governance and the ability to absorb things. Regional
00:07:52integration cannot remain institutional or legal, it must translate
00:07:56into effective circulation of
00:07:59savings and financing. For his part, the president of the Club of
00:08:03Banking and Financial Institution Directors
00:08:06the outcome of these sessions: your active participation, the
00:08:10quality of your contributions, the depth... of your analyzes have largely
00:08:14contributed to the success of our work. Our exchanges have highlighted
00:08:18the need to further strengthen the resilience
00:08:21of our institutions, to accelerate financial inclusion, to
00:08:24promote innovation and to consolidate cooperation between the
00:08:28different actors in the African financial chain. They have above all reaffirmed
00:08:31shared conviction: no establishment, no institution and
00:08:35no country will be able to overcome the challenges alone
00:08:38that arise. Cooperation, innovation and
00:08:41solidarity remain essential levers for
00:08:44the sustainable transformation of our financial sector. As for the president of APEX
00:08:48Congo, he calls on Africa to take responsibility.
00:08:51I retain from these exchanges a shared conviction:
00:08:54African financial integration will not be decreed
00:08:58from outside. It will be built by
00:09:02us, leaders of banks and financial
00:09:05institutions, in constant dialogue with our
00:09:08regulators: the BEAC, the COSUMAF, the
00:09:11CIMA, the... BCEAO eventually
00:09:15Africa and with the determined support of our
00:09:19states and we are closing the curtains on this APEX Congo
00:09:23colloquium and this 5th club forum in the name of the Minister of Finance, Budget and
00:09:26Public Portfolio, the Chief of Staff returned to the expectations of
00:09:30banks and states: it is expected that the banking sector
00:09:34will intensify its contribution to the financing of the real economy, which
00:09:37develops solutions adapted to long-term needs, and
00:09:41that it will participate more in regional
00:09:44syndication and co-financing operations.
00:09:48The state will offer a stable, advanced
00:09:51and predictable framework. Regional institutions must facilitate
00:09:54the convergence of rules and the depth of markets.
00:09:58It is through this clear division of responsibilities
00:10:02that we will transform the conclusions of
00:10:05Brazzaville into measurable results. After
00:10:09Brazzaville, the next meeting is therefore scheduled for February
00:10:132027 in N'Djamena, Chad. In another
00:10:16part of the news, a bouquet of flowers
00:10:20the bombing of UTA Boeing 772 by the Minister
00:10:23of Land Affairs and Public Domain. This
00:10:28is a duty of remembrance that the government cannot shirk, as Ben Open explains.
00:10:32Open.
00:10:38September 19, 1989, September 19,
00:10:412026, it has been exactly 37 years since the
00:10:45UTA airline's Boeing DC10 which was trying to connect
00:10:48Brazzaville, N'Djamena and Paris with about
00:10:51a hundred passengers on board,
00:10:55exploded in mid-air in the Ténéré Desert between N'Djamena and
00:10:58Paris. Among its victims were some Congolese
00:11:02families. This day, September 19, 2026,
00:11:05and for the past 37 years, the government of the
00:11:08Republic remembers its sons and daughters, a duty of remembrance
00:11:12that cannot be shirked. This year again, the ritual was
00:11:16observed and performed by the Minister of Land Affairs and Public
00:11:20Domain, Jean-Mark Ticer Chikaya, replacing the Minister of
00:11:23Transport of... Civil Aviation and Merchant Marine,
00:11:27Joseph Gonimba, who was unable to attend. In the name of the
00:11:30government, we therefore have a duty of remembrance, but also
00:11:34a duty of transmission to future generations, beyond
00:11:38this duty of commemoration, peace,
00:11:41justice and respect for human
00:11:44the Republic expresses all its
00:11:47compassion and solidarity to the
00:11:51grieving families. The reports of the civil aviation inspectors indicated
00:11:55a heinous and reprehensible terrorist act.
00:11:58A phrase comes to mind in this moment of
00:12:02remembrance and in this painful moment: never
00:12:06again, never again
00:12:09such a violent
00:12:12terrorist act. The fight against terrorism is relentless
00:12:16and states are taking adequate measures to protect themselves from
00:12:20such acts, including the Republic of Congo. As far as
00:12:23the Republic of Congo is concerned, we have... so a whole system that is put in
00:12:27place by the legislative framework, the regulatory framework,
00:12:31we have the supervisory authority which is
00:12:35n. So you have the state services, mainly the intelligence
00:12:38services because security relies mainly on
00:12:41intelligence which allows to assess the threat to
00:12:45the state. Then you have the implementation services, the
00:12:49police, the gendarmerie, the customs, the additional services that are
00:12:53provided by companies of...
00:12:55and in fact we have the whole population because security is not
00:12:59everyone's business but it is everyone's business and so each of
00:13:02us is called to be vigilant to ensure
00:13:05that this kind of act does not happen again. During the last meeting
00:13:09we had of the national security committee, we adopted a certain number of actions that
00:13:13go towards raising awareness among the populations but also among the
00:13:16political and military authorities to ensure
00:13:20that every day that passes this strengthening is
00:13:23established and that the populations are safe
00:13:27from this kind of situation. This painful moment is an opportunity for the
00:13:30government of the Republic to reaffirm its unwavering
00:13:34solidarity with the families and to commit absolutely to
00:13:37air safety and security. This is the vision of
00:13:41the head of the transport department,
00:13:43Joseph, in his capacity as president of the national
00:13:47security committee, in accordance with the instructions of the
00:13:50president of the Republic, for whom peace is
00:13:54heaven. A delegation from the civil security of the
00:13:57DRC, led by Colonel Bikela, special advisor to the
00:14:00governor of Kinshasa, held a working session with the Brazzaville command in
00:14:04the midst of exchanges, sharing experiences and strengthening cooperation
00:14:08between the two Congos in terms of civil protection. This is a
00:14:11report from the past: a
00:14:16the Democratic Republic of Congo is currently in
00:14:19Brazzaville. The delegation is led by Colonel
00:14:23Mimi Bikela, special advisor to the governor of
00:14:26Kinshasa. She had a working session with the members of the
00:14:31the Republic of Congo. The session, which took place at the command's
00:14:35headquarters, focused on the exchange of experience between the two countries in the field of
00:14:39civil security, as specified by Colonel Mimi
00:14:42Bikela, special advisor to the governor of
00:14:45Kinshasa. Beyond our experience, we understood that we really
00:14:49need to exchange a lot because there is the expertise
00:14:53that we have and we still have. Also found a lot more
00:14:56development, especially the way to intervene, on this side here, we
00:15:00found that the intervention called firefighter was at the level within the police, while
00:15:03for us it's at the city level, so it's something uh that we
00:15:07can after the report to the governor see how to adapt
00:15:11or mix or know how to copy
00:15:14uh the way the teams intervene. Lieutenant
00:15:18Colonel of Police Jiscelinzok Kenolo, territorial
00:15:21commander of civil security in Brazzaville, appreciates the approach
00:15:24of his counterparts from the Democratic Republic of Congo. We
00:15:28find that it is a very good approach, because you see what
00:15:32is happening in the world, when there is a situation, I can only take
00:15:35Europe, in Spain. The French, the firefighters
00:15:39go to support the others, so it's a good
00:15:42approach because Kinshasa and Brazzaville are the closest
00:15:46cities in the world, so there can be a problem in Brazzaville and
00:15:50our friends, the firefighters of Kinshasa, can come and
00:15:53support us. As for a problem, we will also go to support them,
00:15:57so it's a very good approach that we appreciated. At the
00:16:01end of the working session, the DRC delegation was given a
00:16:04tour of the premises that house the services of the... civil
00:16:08security command. In health, a memorandum was
00:16:14of the Congolese economic capital and the Chinese city of
00:16:17Suzhou. This partnership aims to support traditional Chinese medicine through
00:16:20the establishment of a pharmacy dedicated to traditional Chinese health products in Pointe
00:16:24Noire. This is a report by Lena Bota.
00:16:28The partnership between Pointe Noire and Suzhou is now taking
00:16:31shape. The two parties have formalized their commitment by signing
00:16:35a memorandum concerning the support of traditional
00:16:39Chinese medicine, thus paving the way for
00:16:42cooperation in the field of health. It's a
00:16:45memorandum signed between the traditional medicine
00:16:49center of the city of Suzhou and our ally at the city hall of
00:16:52Pointe-Noire. This is a memorandum that will cover
00:16:56care. The traditional medicine of Suzhou
00:17:00Hospital will bring its expertise to our
00:17:03municipal medico-social center of the Chinese delegation. Led
00:17:07by Luzipping, it then headed to the municipal
00:17:10medico-social center, a site
00:17:13intended to host the Chionchi plantation as
00:17:16part of this operation. On the sidelines of this visit, the
00:17:20Chinese delegation had a working
00:17:24the executive and the advisors who participated in the mission to
00:17:28Suzhou. In 2016, the city of
00:17:31Suzhou and the city of Pointe Noire signed a twinning agreement
00:17:35under the witness. of
00:17:38Presidents Xi Jinping and President Sassou, and
00:17:41so this time we have
00:17:44come to Pointe Noire to promote exchange
00:17:47on the areas of medical
00:17:51talent training and we
00:17:54will also conduct a free medical
00:17:57consultation. The visit is part of the
00:18:01continuity of the mission carried out last May in Suzhou by
00:18:04the municipal executive with the ambition of
00:18:08transforming the commitments made in China into concrete actions for the benefit of
00:18:12the populations. Let's return to Brazzaville. A few days after his installation,
00:18:16the administrator of the 7th arrondissement , Filou, went to
00:18:19Katenard to make contact with the population, as
00:18:22Ev Delise Merci explains here. This
00:18:26is his very first outing since his installation at the head of the 7th arrondissement
00:18:29of Brazzaville, Filunga Maba. For this first field visit, Jean
00:18:33Christos Tom Ngoma chose to meet the populations of the Setondis
00:18:37district, one of the most difficult-to-access districts of the arrondissement. This
00:18:41initial contact also allowed the administrator to present to the local
00:18:44forces of the district the main orientations of his governance policy. Among the
00:18:48priorities displayed, sanitation, the fight against
00:18:50banditry, and noise pollution. The message first and
00:18:56of the Republic, His Excellency Mr. Denis
00:19:00Sassou Nguesso, makes peace
00:19:03a priority. Without peace, we cannot
00:19:06live in... serenity, living together. I
00:19:10noticed, people are here peacefully, they
00:19:13received me uh in
00:19:16peace and tranquility. We have seen
00:19:19the state of the road. We will report what we have
00:19:22observed to the appropriate authorities. Truly, I have seen firsthand,
00:19:26it is difficult. The public service will make an effort
00:19:30for everything to be installed in this neighborhood. This proximity
00:19:33approach already seems to be finding a favorable echo among the residents. The
00:19:37meeting especially allowed the population to present their main
00:19:40concerns to the administrator-mayor, foremost among them, the
00:19:43difficulties of access to the neighborhood, which is almost isolated due to the severely
00:19:47degraded state of its main access road. This is a great victory for
00:19:51us because currently, when we do
00:19:54sanitation, he first took the first step in our neighborhood to say,
00:19:57"Do what I did." So for
00:20:01us, it's already a step that we
00:20:04have gained because Mr. Mayor...
00:20:07us the example and we will follow this example, told the mayor
00:20:11to fix the road for us, we are used to entering in the mud
00:20:15to enter, sometimes when it rains, we walk for
00:20:191 or 3 hours to get here, when the motorcycles
00:20:23we pay 200 or 2500, it's too much for us, love in the
00:20:26710 KT Nard district, a series of field
00:20:30visits will continue in the various districts of the 7th arrondissement, announced
00:20:33Jean-Stostom Guma, an approach that aims for direct contact with the population
00:20:38and to better understand the realities they face daily.
