DRC President Félix Tshisekedi and Rwandan President Paul Kagame have held separate meetings with former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, a key facilitator in the regional peace process.
The meetings come ahead of the signing of a peace treaty between the two countries, scheduled for this Friday.
President Kagame met with Obasanjo on Tuesday, while DRC President Tshisekedi met with him on Thursday.
These meetings illustrate the commitment of both nations to finding a peaceful solution to the longstanding conflict.
Obasanjo is facilitating the peace process on behalf of the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
The expected peace treaty aims to address the complex issues driving the conflict and establish a framework for cooperation between the two countries. Key areas of focus are likely to include security, trade, and economic development.
As the leaders prepare to sign the treaty, there is optimism that this diplomatic effort will yield tangible results and pave the way for increased stability and cooperation in the region.
The international community is closely watching the developments, and the treaty signing is expected to have far-reaching implications for the Great Lakes region.
