The DRC’s Council of Ministers approved a public-private partnership with Portuguese firm Mota-Engil on 10 July 2026 to fully rehabilitate the Congolese segment of the Lobito Corridor — the Dilolo-Kolwezi-Lubumbashi-Sakania railway line connecting the Angolan border to the Copperbelt’s key mining hubs. The deal follows a December 2025 US DFC letter of interest for up to $1 billion to support the rehabilitation, though the concession agreement itself still requires formal signature and DFC support remains to be finalized.
