president of the United States, Donald Trumpyou will receive Thursday Leaders Rwanda And the Democratic Republic Congo The United States will sign a peace deal, White House press secretary Carolyn Leavitt said Monday.
The meeting should be a continuation of the peace agreement brokered by the United States of America and signed by the foreign ministers of the two countries in June. In addition to the economic agreement concluded in November.
The Rwandan-backed M23 rebel group launched an offensive in eastern Congo this year, seizing the region’s two largest cities and raising fears of a wider war.
In September, Congo and Rwanda agreed to implement security measures set out in the June agreement by the end of the year.
These measures include operations to eliminate the threat posed by the armed group FDLR, based in the Congo, and to facilitate the withdrawal of Rwandan forces.
Rwanda denies supporting the M23, but a group of UN experts said in a July report that the country was exercising command and control over the rebels.
