DRC: Chine Nouvelle Wants to Support Digital Transition of Agence Congolaise de Presse

DRC: Chine Nouvelle Wants to Support Digital Transition of Agence Congolaise de Presse

Chine Nouvelle, a Chinese news agency, wants to contribute to the digital transformation of the Agence Congolaise de Presse (ACP). Last week, during the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, Fu Hua, President of Chine Nouvelle, renewed this commitment to ACP Director General Bienvenu-Marie Bakumanya, stressing the importance of strengthening media ties between China and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The partnership announcement comes amidst major challenges facing Congolese media outlets, especially the ACP. Such challenges include upgrading infrastructures and integrating new technologies. 

According to the ACP chief, Bienvenu-Marie Bakumanya, the ACP must shift to digital if it wants to "stay relevant in a global landscape where information is disseminated at great speed, notably via digital platforms".

Chine Nouvelle’s support will help the ACP produce and distribute news in a more modern way. This collaboration could also stimulate cultural and media exchanges between China and the DRC. "Our two people don't know each other well enough. Our media must collaborate to enable better mutual understanding between the Congolese and the Chinese,” Bakumanya, ACP’s boss said.
