This confirmation was announced by President Tshisekedi's spokesperson, Tina Salama, on December 6, 2024, according to Radio France Internationale (RFI).
The talks follow a November 25, 2024, ministerial agreement outlining steps to dismantle the FDLR terror group and ease security measures imposed by Rwanda along its border.
The December 15 discussions are expected to focus on finding a lasting solution to the M23 rebel group crisis, which was not addressed during the earlier meeting.
Rwanda's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Olivier Nduhungirehe, recently stressed that resolving the root causes behind M23's armed rebellion requires direct talks between the DRC government and the group.
In an interview with Top Congo FM on December 6, 2024, DRC's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner, dismissed the possibility of such negotiations.
