The Ghanaian people and I extend warm congratulations to the President-Elect of the Democratic Republic of Congo, His Excellency Félix Tshisekedi, on the affirmation of his victory in last December’s presidential elections by his country’s Constitutional Court.

The brotherly people of the Democratic Republic of Congo are also to be applauded for their peaceful and orderly conduct in the elections, which has strengthened the frontiers of multiparty democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I look forward to continuing to work with President Tshisekedi in his second term of office, just as we did in his first, so we can continue to build on the strong ties of friendship and co-operation which exists between our two countries, and which are based on the shared agenda of development, prosperity and adherence to the tenets of good governance and the rule of law.

Warm congratulations, once again, to President Félix Tshisekedi, and to the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Best wishes for his and the country’s success.
