The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda have finalized an historic peace agreement brokered under the auspices of the United States.
On Friday, June 27, 2025, the signing ceremony was held in the US Department of State, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio in attendance.
Foreign Affairs Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner and Olivier Nduhungirehe, her Rwandan counterpart represented and signed the agreement on behalf of their respective nations.
This agreement represents the culmination of a process of dialogue that began several months ago, in a climate of persistent tensions in the east of the DRC where armed violence and clashes between rebel groups, aggressors and regular armed forces have long been a tragic reality.
