 U.S to host DRC, Rwanda officials for talks on stalled peace efforts, sources tell Reuters


The United States has called senior officials from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda to Washington this week for talks on the stalled peace process in eastern DR Congo, two diplomatic sources said.


Bilateral meetings between the US and each side are scheduled for March 17, with a trilateral meeting on March 18 if progress is made, the sources said.


It would mark the first encounter between the parties since the US Treasury sanctioned the Rwanda Defence Force and four senior officers on March 2.


Washington has publicly alleged that Rwanda supports the M23 rebel group and, therefore, complicates the conflict in eastern DR Congo. Rwanda denies backing M23.


Lightning offensive


The meetings take place as dozens of African government officials gather in Washington for the Powering Africa Summit, including several energy ministers from across the continent.


M23 staged a lightning advance in eastern DR Congo in January 2025 and holds large swathes of territory there.


Rwanda's minister for foreign affairs, a spokesperson for DR Congo's government and the US Department of State were not immediately available for comment.
