Kinshasa and Paris examined bilateral cooperation, the security situation in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the future of the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO). The discussions notably covered the upcoming renewal of its mandate, according to Lepotentiel and Ben Dibanzilua.
Two figures discussed cooperation between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and France in Kinshasa, as well as diplomatic initiatives to restore peace in the east of the country, Lepotentiel reports. The discussions notably covered upcoming negotiations at the UN Security Council on renewing the mandate of MONUSCO, the UN mission in the DRC.
The meeting comes as security in the east of the DRC remains at the heart of regional and international peace efforts. On 4 October, Kinshasa asked the UN to involve MONUSCO in disarming the FDLR, the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, as part of discussions on the role of the mission in the DRC.
