Democratic Republic of Congo needs to change the way it exports natural resources if the country wants to fight its way out of poverty, President Joseph Kabila said.
Miners should process minerals and other raw materials within Congo, and the country should reduce its reliance on small-scale and independent mining, Kabila, 39, said in his annual state of the nation address to parliament in the capital, Kinshasa, today.
