In 1962, the first Mission of Democratic Republic of the Congo opened in Delhi, India. In the past decades too we stood with them and we are together even today. That is why, when we are presenting our view, they too are making a commitment that they stood with us even yesterday, they stand with us today and will be with us even in the future."
