The African Union City (French: Cité de l'OUA) is a governmental complex situated in the Ngaliema commune of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

[1][2][3][4] The complex was commissioned by President Mobutu Sese Seko in 1967 when Kinshasa hosted the heads of state summit of the Organization of African Unity (OAU).

This was achieved after thirty of the OAU member states had accepted the Congolese invitation, well over the two-thirds majority of the total membership of thirty-eight required as a quorum.

[6] In 2009, the OAU City complex was rehabilitated by the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) under President Joseph Kabila's administration, in anticipation of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) summit, which was held in Kinshasa the following September.

[9] The summit was attended by several African leaders, including Seretse Khama Ian Khama, Pakalitha Mosisili, Armando Emílio Guebuza, Hifikepunye Pohamba, Jacob Zuma, Mswati III, Rupiah B. Banda, Robert Mugabe, Antonio Paulo Kassoma, Eta Banda, Bernard Membe, Arvin Boolell, Patrick Pillay, Ketumile Masire, and Joaquim Alberto Chissano.
