The President of the Republic of Congo (DRC), Félix Tshisekedi has received Rwanda’s Chief of Defense Staff, Gen. Patrick Nyamvumba who met him at his Kinshasa-based presidential palace where he commended his efforts in boosting military cooperation between both countries.

After holding talks, Gen Nyamvumba said the visit was meant to hail Tshisekedi for his willingness to promote DRC-Rwanda military cooperation and delivering greetings from his counterpart President Paul Kagame.

“We have come to honor Félix Tshisekedi, laud his willingness to promote military cooperation and convey greetings from the President of the Republic of Rwanda,” he said.

DRC Defense Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Célestin Mbala Munsense said both countries have to strengthen cooperation to maintain peace.

“We are neighbors and need to improve both countries’ military cooperation to jointly uphold security. We assure citizens of preserving peace to realize development in the region,” he revealed.

Rwanda and RDC enjoy good relations. Towards the end of last year, DRC soldiers (FARDC) arrested FDLR spokesperson, Laforge Bazeye Fils and Lt Col Theophile alias Abega the chief spy in FDLR at Bunagana border as they returned from Uganda.

They were all deported to Rwanda where they are tried on committing crimes related to terrorism.
