Democratic Republic of Congo started a five-year, $600 million renovation of rail lines in the south-east of the country to boost trade, lower prices and develop its mining industry, Mines Minister Martin Kabwelulu said.
The project is being funded by the World Bank and the government, with $200 million coming from a minerals-for-infrastructure accord signed with China in 2009.
