二. Important reminders

At present, the security situation in Congo (DRC) is complex and severe. In North Kivu Province and South Kivu Province in the east, the security situation has deteriorated rapidly, and the Congolese Armed Forces and M23 continue to engage in intense clashes. The security situation in Ituri Province, Haut-Uélé Province, and other areas is not optimistic. Illegal armed groups such as M23, ADF, CODECO, the Mai-Mai militia, and the Zaire militia continue to stir up trouble in provinces including North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri, and Haut-Uélé. Violent incidents and cases such as armed robberies and kidnappings occur from time to time. The safety risks faced by Chinese citizens in Congo (DRC) remain high.

The Chinese Embassy in Congo (DRC) reminds all Chinese citizens in Congo (DRC) to attach the utmost importance to security issues. Chinese citizens must not go to areas with extremely high security risks such as Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, and Haut-Uélé Provinces. For Chinese citizens and enterprises currently located locally, they are still requested to withdraw or relocate to safer areas as soon as possible. Chinese citizens in the nine provinces such as Lualaba, Upper Katanga, Lower Kivu, Tanganyika, Maniema, Central Kasai, Sankuru, Lomami, and Upper Lomami should not go there unless it is necessary. For Chinese citizens who have already been in the area and have not yet reported their information, please report your personal information to the Embassy as soon as possible (for the operating procedure, see:

Chinese citizens engaging in business in the Kinshasa area are asked to closely monitor the local situation, strengthen safety precautions, and firmly eliminate any mindset of complacency and luck. When going out, please stay highly alert, keep in touch with family, friends, and colleagues nearby, and promptly avoid risks if risky situations arise. For Chinese-funded institutions located in areas where the security situation is clearly worsening, please take practical measures to further increase security spending to the highest standards, reduce personnel who are not necessary, and prepare contingency plans for adjusting production and business operations and personnel arrangements in the event of sudden incidents. Avoid going to areas where outbreaks of epidemics occur; cautiously travel to areas with high incidences of tropical infectious diseases; take precautions against tropical infectious diseases such as monkeypox; develop good personal hygiene habits; avoid contact with wild animals; and reduce going to crowded places. If necessary,做好 personal hygiene protective measures.

Chinese citizens in Congo (DRC) are also urged to be vigilant and guard against telecom fraud. If you receive calls from strangers, pay extra attention to avoid falling for scams.

In the event of an emergency, please promptly call the police and contact the Embassy.
