The President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Joseph Kabila, accompanied by a large delegation including central Government ministers, the Vice-President of the Senate, the Governor of the province of Equateur and all the ministers of the province, has visited the new DREAM centre of Mbandaka.

The President was particularly interested in the molecular biology laboratory where the DREAM personnel were able to illustrate the use and potential of its state of the art equipment.

Such a marvel in the middle of the equatorial forest was cause for great satisfaction on the part of the President and his ministers.

The President also took note of deeply felt problems in Mbandaka such as the shortage of electric power and he promised to continue to follow DREAM’s future projects in the province and the country.
