Recently, South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, met with DRC President, Félix Tshisekedi, at the Presidential Palace in Kinshasa.
South African leader is on a two-day visit to the country to discuss security and trade.
Both leaders are also attending the DRC-South Africa Economic Forum, which brings together around a hundred businessmen from the two countries.
During the meeting the two sides reactivated the DRC-South Africa Great Joint Commission, a bilateral body of ministers from both sides tasked with working on revising bilateral deals, which brings together around a hundred businessmen from the two countries.
The visit from the South African president takes place as Kinshasa prepares for a general election at the end of December amid persistent security problems in the east of the country.
