The year was marked by five salient domestic developments: legislative elections in July–August; the consolidation of the alliance between the party of former opposition heavyweight Bernard Kolélas and the presidential majority; the deaths of several members of the political elite; the failed political comeback of opponents who had returned from exile; and two cabinet reshuffles. Bilateral relationships between Congo and France fluctuated between hot and cold. Brazzaville hosted some important international meetings. China, Korea, Malaysia and Brazil showed continued interest in the resource-rich country, but the growing Chinese presence was not always well-received. Initial projections for the state budget had to be revised under pressure from the Bretton Woods organisations.
