Rwanda, DRC to strengthen military cooperation

Defence Ministers and Chiefs of staff of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are due to meet Friday in Goma, in the Eastern part of DRC, according to an official statement released here Thursday.

The meeting is aimed at strengthening the military cooperation between the two countries and combating militia operating from the borders.

Joint operations carried out by the two armies a few months ago helped quash the rebellion led by the National Council for the Defence of the People (CNDP) in the province of North-Kivu and to arrest the leader, Gen. Laurent Nkunda.
