Relationship context
Overview
The United Kingdom has provided development and humanitarian assistance to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Information about direct Congolese government cooperation with the United Kingdom is insufficient to assess that policy.
Major uncertainties
- The scope and implementation of direct bilateral cooperation are unclear.
