'' In this chapter, we discuss the major concepts of the foreign policy of the DRC regarding its history marked by the different periods of the Congolese diplomacy, its weaknesses and strengths that have characterized throughout its history;its basic principles from the first to the third Republic;its objectives and its implementation;its organs constitutionally reconnus.Les periods of Congolese diplomacy Contemporary history of the Congolese diplomacy includes an outdoor way of diplomatic exchanges, participation of the DRC in the meetings of international organizations and visits it carries with its external partners.However, these activities give a clear indication of its diplomatic attitudes Congolese diplomatic network was gradually established with external partners since June 30, 1960, not only subject only ideological obstacles during the period of the Cold War to what international relations theory was transformed by the nature of the post Cold War, by the inadequacy of the "old" theories that came from the ineffectiveness of these theories developed in foreign contexts to the phenomena of globalization, to apprehend new realities.It would therefore be necessary to adopt other theoretical perspectives and interdisciplinary type of methodologies to deepen the relationship between the economy, politics and culture;where it was necessary to make conceptual readjustments whose absence the dominant ideological or strategic threats gives nations the freedom to conduct foreign policies increasingly based on the immediate national interest through conciliation and balance of 'competing national interests.It would then be necessary to find new theories that are, or that of "reversal" or that of "power revisited".This is the case of multipolarism of Henry Kissinger, 26 but also by financial constraints;a crisis explained by new determinants and limited originality of new approaches.The controversial attack by the fragility of hegemony as regulators means internationales.L'analyse relations evolution of the Congolese diplomacy is indicated to restore it in the context of the political development of our country.In this light, we structure the major stages in the history of contemporary Congolese diplomacy in six normal periods and additive period could be considered the seventh 28.

However, the evolution of diplomacy was affirmed by a precondition for mutual recognition to establish the relationship between the two countries given Moreover, the diplomatic institution born of the inevitability of States at one time, because they were sentenced to bind to Friendship cooperation to seek what they were missing.Thus they had made sporadic intermittent cooperation or isolation.That's when the roaming between States and the cooperation of permanence are based diplomats to enable the smooth functioning of their mission of representation, negotiation, information by observing and protecting the interests of his state to harmonize and maximize the mieux.En Indeed, the DRC, with the creation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headed at that time by Mr. Justin BOMBOKO Marie, she has a diplomatic apparatus like veterans of the countries, such as France, which has allowed our country to integrate into the establishment of permanent bilateral and multilateral diplomatic ties whose bitterness covers the whole world.
