BGN group extends its sincere appreciation to H.E. Félix Tshisekedi, President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for the vision outlined in his State of the Nation Address on Dec. 8, 2025.
In his address, the President highlighted the opening of a CEEC office (Centre for Expertise, Evaluation, and Certification of Precious and Semi-Precious Mineral Substances) in the U.S., a strategic initiative designed to facilitate direct sales and enhance national value addition for the country’s mineral resources.
This initiative is a key component of the strategic partnership agreement signed on July 30, 2025, between BGN INT US LLC, and the DRC government’s CEEC. This partnership establishes the International Multi-Commodity Center, HOLDCO IMCC, the DRC’s first direct marketing and purchasing platform for critical minerals and metals, which will strengthen the country’s economic sovereignty and support its role in the global energy transition.
BGN is proud to provide the digital technology platform to support the CEEC and the Congolese Government’s objectives. This partnership strengthens the DRC’s economic sovereignty and control over its mineral wealth and will play a pivotal role in advancing national infrastructure and capturing greater value from the country’s natural resources.
HOLDCO IMCC is based in the U.S. with operational support and mineral collection anchored in the DRC under the full supervision of Congolese regulatory institutions. BGN remains committed to supporting the DRC in realizing the country’s visionary ambitions and in building a transparent, sustainable, and value-added mining sector that benefits the country and Congolese people.
