Amir attends Rwanda-DRC peace talks hosted by Qatar

As part of efforts to ease the situation in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Qatar hosted a trilateral meeting in Doha Tuesday, attended by His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani; President of the Republic of Rwanda Paul Kagame; and President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Felix Tshisekedi Tshilombo.

The Heads of State welcomed the progress made in the Luanda and Nairobi processes, as well as the joint EAC-SADC summit held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on February 8, 2025. The Heads of State reaffirmed the commitment of all parties to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire as agreed at the said summit. The Heads of State then agreed on the need to continue the discussions initiated in Doha in order to establish solid foundations for lasting peace as envisioned in the Luanda/Nairobi process, now merged and/or aligned.

President Kagame and President Tshisekedi thanked Qatar and His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani for the hospitality and for organising this fruitful meeting, which helped build confidence in a shared commitment to a secure and stable future for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region.
