2008FEB11 - 4. World News - Netherlands donates €16 million to support peace-building projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo

In world news, the Netherlands donates €16 million to support peace-building projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The funds will support infrastructure repair and security in the Nord-Kivu and Sud-Kivu provinces, where some 80,000 people have been displaced. A ministerial statement read on Congolese television said the government “will do everything to give the maximum chance for peace and allow the Congolese people as a whole, and particularly the population of Nord- and Sud-Kivu, to fully enjoy the benefits of peace.”

Thank you and God bless the Netherlands and the Democratic Republic of Congo for your help in building peaceful lives for the Congolese people. May citizens from both countries enjoy social tranquility, economic prosperity, and mutual goodwill.
