Description
Belgium's King Philippe urges students in DR Congo to exploit the country's enormous mineral wealth for its own benefit, during a historic trip to the former Belgian colony. In a speech at the University of Lubumbashi, the King hails the difficult sacrifices made by the students and their families in order to pursue an education. "Congo possesses an abundance of wealth in its subsoil," Philippe says, telling the assembled students to use their skills "to get the most value out of these riches" for the Congolese people.
