In his speech, the Minister of State and Minister of Vocational Education of the DRC, Marc Ekila Likombio, stated that vocational education plays a key role in promoting the country's industrialization and increasing youth employment.
According to him, the DRC is ready to strengthen cooperation with China in this area, drawing on China's experience in technical training, professional skills development, and partnerships between educational institutions and enterprises.
