Democratic Republic of the Congo–Yugoslavia relations
Democratic Republic of the Congo–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations between Congo-Léopoldville or Zaire (modern day Democratic Republic of the Congo) and now split-up Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Both countries were active members of the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War. Congo Crisis was one of the central issues at the time of the establishment of the movement and its first Belgrade conference. During the 15th session of the United Nations General Assembly non-aligned countries from Africa and Asia together with Yugoslavia repeatedly initiated discussion on the situation in Congo. Following the execution of Patrice Lumumba, Congo's first democratically elected prime minister, demonstrations started in Yugoslav capital Belgrade which escalated in ransacking of the Belgian Embassy. At the second 1964 Non-Aligned Conference in Cairo Yugoslav delegation opposed active participation (and entrance to the conference room) of the Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Moïse Tshombe due to his role in Lumumba's execution. As Lumumba was perceived as a symbol of Decolonisation of Africa Tshombe was despised by most of African delegations as well. Yugoslav delegation's view was supported by the President of Algeria Ahmed Ben Bella, President of Egypt and host Gamal Abdel Nasser and Prime Minister of Sri Lanka Sirimavo Bandaranaike. 

To accommodate rising numbers of students at the University of Belgrade authorities opened the Student Dormitory Patris Lumumba in 1961, the name kept up until today (as of 2021).

At the 1974 FIFA World Cup Yugoslavia national football team achieved one of its best score by beating the DR Congo national football team with the result 9:0. On 21 May 1980 Democratic Republic of the Congo and Yugoslavia, together with Tanzania and Zambia proposed an draft resolution to the World Health Assembly to extend the assistance in the health sector to the newly independent Republic of Zimbabwe which was affected by the consequences of the Zimbabwe War of Liberation. At the time of the breakup of Yugoslavia Zaire, together with Zimbabwe, tried to lobby of behalf of the rump Federal Republic of Yugoslavia yet their efforts led to limited or no success in the situation of international unipolarity and condemnation of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia involvement in Bosnian War and Croatia.
