Funcionarios estadounidenses, británicos y congoleños inauguran Zona Económica Especial en la ciudad de Kiswishi

KISWISHI CITY, República Democrática del Congo, 17 de junio de 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Funcionarios de los gobiernos estadounidense, británico y congoleño lanzaron importantes inversiones extranjeras directas en la República Democrática del Congo (RDC) con la colocación de la primera piedra de una planta embotelladora de Pepsi de 50 millones de dólares y un depósito de combustible de Congo Petrol. Al inaugurar la Zona Económica Especial (ZEE) de la ciudad de Kiswishi, la primera ZEE privada de la RDC, los funcionarios también iniciaron la construcción de una Ventanilla Única para servicios gubernamentales ágiles para inversores.

American, British, and Congolese officials, along with executives from PepsiCo (Varun Beverages), Congo Petrol, and Rendeavour, break ground at Kiswishi City Special Economic Zone in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The launch marks the start of construction on a USD 50 million Pepsi bottling plant, a fuel depot by Congo Petrol, and a One-Stop Shop for investor services.

 

Las inversiones en la Zona Económica Especial (ZEE) de la ciudad de Kiswishi crearán miles de empleos y expandirán las marcas de PepsiCo, con sede en Nueva York, en la provincia de Haut-Katanga, en rápido crecimiento. Desarrollada por Varun Beverages de India, la mayor embotelladora de Pepsi fuera de Estados Unidos, la instalación se ubica en un terreno de 15 hectáreas (37 acres) en la ZEE de la ciudad de Kiswishi.

Congo Petrol, distribuidora y licenciataria de Dalbit Petroleum de Kenia, desarrollará una instalación de vanguardia para el almacenamiento y depósito de productos petrolíferos con capacidad para 8.000 metros cúbicos, ubicada en siete hectáreas (17 acres), lo que mejorará su capacidad para atender eficientemente la creciente demanda en la región.

Con el respaldo de inversores estadounidenses, británicos, neozelandeses y noruegos, la ZEE de la ciudad de Kiswishi es un proyecto de Rendeavour, la nueva constructora de ciudades de África, cuyas ciudades de uso mixto en Kenia, Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia y la República Democrática del Congo han impulsado miles de millones de dólares en inversión extranjera y nacional, además de la creación de decenas de miles de empleos para jóvenes africanos.

Lucy Tamlyn, embajadora de Estados Unidos en la República Democrática del Congo, declaró: «Gracias a los inversores que creen en el largo plazo. La ZEE de la ciudad de Kiswishi es, en gran medida, una inversión a largo plazo que requiere mucha fe, confianza y apoyo. La Embajada de Estados Unidos seguirá siendo una firme defensora».

Alyson King, embajadora del Reino Unido en la República Democrática del Congo, explicó: «Me complace enormemente ver el lanzamiento de este proyecto financiado por el Reino Unido y otros inversores, que se alinea perfectamente con la visión del Reino Unido para sus alianzas en África, apoyando la creación de valor local, la creación de empleo y beneficios duraderos para las comunidades».

El profesor Jean-Marie Kanda, asesor principal del presidente de la República Democrática del Congo, indicó: «Rendeavour y la Zona Económica Especial de la ciudad de Kiswishi, junto con sus accionistas estadounidenses, británicos, neozelandeses y noruegos, aportan un enorme valor a nuestra economía al invertir en infraestructuras críticas y en nuevas ciudades bien organizadas. Rendeavour merece reconocimiento por la confianza y el impulso que ha brindado al sector industrial congoleño. La ceremonia de hoy es un testimonio de su compromiso con la visión del presidente de la República, jefe de estado, implementada por el gobierno liderado por Su Excelencia, la primera ministra».

Preston Mendenhall, director de operaciones del grupo Rendeavour, afirmó: «La inversión de Rendeavour en la ZEE de la ciudad de Kiswishi representa un hito importante para la República Democrática del Congo. En lugar de extraer recursos del paisaje, lo estamos complementando con infraestructura de alta calidad: electricidad, agua, carreteras e internet. Estamos construyendo una ciudad completamente nueva, de uso mixto, ingresos mixtos, inclusiva y respetuosa con el medio ambiente para los congoleños».

Otros dignatarios presentes fueron: John Muloba, ministro de Industria de Haut-Katanga; Calvin Bailey, enviado comercial del Reino Unido para África meridional y miembro del Parlamento; Ritchie Callaghan, cónsul honorario del Reino Unido en Lubumbashi; Hypolite Magogo, subdirector general de la Agencia de Zonas Económicas Especiales; Vishal Gupta, director general de Varun Beverages; Collins Kiprop, gerente nacional de Congo Petrol; y el senador Jean Bamanisa Saidi, presidente del Club BTP y CMA.

Las empresas de la ZEE de la ciudad de Kiswishi, la primera ZEE privada de la República Democrática del Congo, también incluyen a Queen Energy, Zindua Investment, SDG Afrique, Congo Mineral Services y Congolese Analytical Laboratory. La primera fase del complejo residencial de Kiswishi, Kimia, está vendida al 98%. La Ventanilla Única, gestionada por la Agencia de Zonas Económicas Especiales, garantiza que los inversores puedan acceder a los servicios gubernamentales en un único lugar.
