A special representative of the UN Secretary-General, Xia Huang, met with President Félix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to discuss peace, security, and stability in the Great Lakes region, local media reported on Tuesday.
Huang’s diplomatic mission precedes a key UN Security Council meeting on 4 April in New York, where discussions will center on the crisis in eastern Congo and the implementation of Resolution 2773, adopted on 21 February. The resolution aims to foster stability and support peace processes, particularly the Luanda and Nairobi agreements.
The UN envoy reaffirmed the organization's commitment to aiding Great Lakes nations in de-escalating tensions and establishing lasting peace. "This upcoming meeting is an important opportunity to contribute to de-escalation and address broader security concerns," Huang stated.
The urgency of these discussions has heightened following recent rebel advances. M23 rebels seized Nyabiondo city on Sunday, escalating violence that has resulted in over 8,500 deaths since January. The DRC accuses Rwanda of backing the insurgents, a claim Kigali denies. Western nations, including Germany, the US, and the UK, have imposed sanctions on Rwanda over the alleged support.
