DPO AE 09828 serves the U.S. Embassy in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), formerly known as Zaire. The embassy represents American interests in this vast Central African nation.
The DRC is Africa's second-largest country by area and holds significant strategic importance due to its vast mineral resources and location in the heart of the continent. The embassy supports diplomatic, development, and humanitarian programs.
Security conditions in the DRC have varied over the decades, with periods of conflict affecting embassy operations. Personnel serve in diplomatic, security, development, and consular roles.
Mail routes through Newark before State Department transport to Kinshasa. The challenging logistics in Central Africa mean transit times can be lengthy, often 21+ days from the continental U.S.

At the Gary Sinise Foundation, our mission is to serve our nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need. Among its programs is the construction of specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded veterans that are provided mortgage-free.
