Foreign Ministry announcement regarding Greek citizens in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Given the fragile political situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Foreign Ministry advises Greeks permanently residing there to stay abreast of developments and remain in contact with the Greek Embassy in Kinshasa (emergency telephone no. 00243 811050055) and with the Foreign Ministry (210-368 1730 / 1350, email: ).

The Foreign Ministry advises Greek citizens to avoid travelling to the Congo at the present time. Should security conditions deteriorate, Greeks in the DRC are called upon to remain calm, avoid venturing unnecessarily into public spaces, and contact the Greek Embassy in Kinshasa, which, depending on conditions, will consider the possible implementation of an evacuation process.
