Palais du Peuple, Parliament building in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Palais du Peuple houses both chambers of parliament, featuring architecture influenced by the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Chinese contractors completed the construction in 1979 following an interest-free credit line of 100 million dollars granted during President Mobutu's leadership.
The parliament building serves as a venue for national ceremonies, including tributes to notable Congolese figures such as musician Tabu Ley Rochereau.
The building functions as the meeting place for the National Assembly and Senate, where legislative decisions shape the future of Congo.
The structure emerged from a collaboration between Congo and China in the 1970s, marking a significant shift in international relations.
