With only days remaining before Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame and the Democratic Republic of Congo’s President Félix Tshisekedi sign a peace agreement in Washington, D.C., a large delegation of Congolese government officials has already departed Kinshasa for the United States.
Reliable information from N’djili International Airport, supported by official travel documents, shows that more than 100 officials have flown to the U.S., with additional delegations expected to leave on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.
The group includes senior government officials, political advisers to the president, members of parliament and representatives of state institutions linked to the implementation of the upcoming peace deal.
Presidents Kagame and Tshisekedi are expected to sign agreements aimed at restoring peace and strengthening economic cooperation.
The event is being convened by the United States, which has acted as mediator between the two countries and seeks to finalize commitments made in June by the Foreign Ministers, including plans for a regional economic platform.
Political analysts say the meeting will be a significant moment for regional diplomacy, aligning with long-standing calls for peace and stability in eastern DRC and the wider Great Lakes region.
During the gathering, both sides are expected to hold bilateral discussions, while Washington will outline its role in supporting a new security framework for Eastern Congo.
