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. It is located near Mont Ngaliema and serves as a venue for diplomatic and governmental functions.
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). Since then, it has served as the sanctum sanctorum for guests of the Congolese Head of State, as well as for the government's meetings and international summits held in Kinshasa.
