President Joseph Kabila and Prime Minister Gizenga named their Government on 5 February. The new Government consists of six senior Ministers of State, 34 Ministers and 20 Vice-Ministers.
All Government members belong to the Alliance pour la Majorite Presidentielle coalition of parties which supported President Kabila's election campaign. The new Government is a mixture of new faces and politicians with experience from the transitional Government.
The new Government faces many challenges, notably reforming the security sector, dealing with corruption and improving regional relations. We are committed to working with the Government to build a stable and prosperous Democratic Republic of Congo and Great Lakes region.
