The latest news on the conflict between Rwanda and Congo
The foreign ministers of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda agreed on Saturday to strengthen efforts to reduce the tension between them and to resolve the political crisis between them.
Relations in the central African region have been volatile in recent months as the DRC has accused its small neighbour, Rwanda, of supporting rebel militias that have displaced tens of thousands of people.
In a joint statement issued at a meeting held in Angola, the ministers agreed to continue talks “as a priority to resolve the political crisis in the two brotherly countries” and to redefine the timetable for speeding up the interest reduction plan, which was signed in July.
The plan to end the crisis was signed by Rwandan President Paul Kagame and his Congolese counterpart Felix Tshisekedi.
