Voltage
Exact voltage
Perfect! This is very good! You will not need any sort of voltage adapter (they are always big, heavy and they can't handle too much energy. i.e. might have problems with hairdryers). You can plug your devices to the electric network grid in Congo-Kinshasa without requiring a voltage adapter.
Plugs Type
Same connectors
Ideal situation, all the connectors used in Pakistan are also used in Congo-Kinshasa. You will not need any adapter (but please check voltages and the other sections of this report). Congratulations!!!!
