CAPE TOWN: The Democratic Republic of Congo will look for other partners if its minerals cooperation framework with the US does not lead to concrete projects, the country’s mines minister said. “Everything we have done with America is a framework under which we will discuss questions of mutual interest. That is all it is,” Louis Watum Kabamba said on the sidelines of the Indaba mining conference in Cape Town. “It may become a good major project. It may also become another project that does not interest them.
