Rwanda, Congo agree on outline for economic framework as part of peace deal

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA, AUG 2 – The framework targets ending conflict by securing mineral supply chains and boosting cooperation in energy, infrastructure, and public health, with implementation planned within 90 days.

  • Amid follow-up to the June peace deal, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo agreed on a regional economic framework, announced by the US Department of State.
  • After months of conflict fueled by mineral clashes, the DRC says plundering its resources drives violence with Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, as per the State Department.
  • According to the joint statement, the framework includes cooperation in energy, infrastructure, mineral supply chains, national parks, and public health fields, with commitments to stop minerals funding armed groups.
  • Per the agreement, the two countries will launch the regional economic integration framework within 90 days and gather feedback from the private sector and civil society on a preliminary draft.
  • Moreover, the joint security coordination mechanism will meet on August 7 in Addis Ababa to monitor Rwandan soldiers' withdrawal, as agreed last year.
