Congolese Government has Offered Movie Actor Jean Claud aka Van Damme a Diplomatic Passport, Asks Him to Promote the Country Abroad.
After the singers Gims and Dadju who evolve in France, the Belgian-American actor Jean-Claude Van Damme received, Wednesday April 6 in Kinshasa, his diplomatic passport. The movie star completed a stay of about a week in the Congolese capital, meeting various personalities from the world of entertainment and politics. With his Congolese passport, the Congolese authorities entrusted him with the mission of selling a positive image of the country and much more.
Smiling, tight-fitting T-shirt, bulging muscles, Jean-Claude Van Damme said he was proud to receive his diplomatic passport. Three missions are assigned to it, including that of being an ambassador for sport and culture. The star will also put her success and her aura at the service of the protection of Congolese forests.
“ It is also the title of wildlife ambassador to help the ecology of the country, a childhood dream. It is to help animals and nature, because the Congo is one of the two lungs of the Earth. We spend so many resources to go to other planets when there are things to fix on this Earth. »
Cette thématique entre dans le nouveau narratif diplomatique de la RDC, qui veut mettre la question du climat au cÅ“ur des discussions avec divers partenaires internationaux. La RDC, qui se présente comme pays-solution face aux enjeux climatiques, a d’ailleurs obtenu l’organisation de la réunion préparatoire de la COP27.
Avec son passeport congolais, Jean-Claude Van Damme veut aussi aider le pays à attirer davantage des investisseurs, particulièrement dans le secteur de l’agriculture. « C’est pour pouvoir nourrir notre pays, moins dépendre des pays importateurs, pour que le Congo soit beaucoup plus autonome. Ce qui peut remonter l’économie du pays, car notre terre est très fertile. »
He clarified that his contribution is voluntary. However, he will put together a team to help him accomplish the missions entrusted to him.
