Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda agreed to start implementing security measures under a US-mediated deal next month, the countries said in a joint statement on Wednesday, in what would be a key step toward carrying out the peace agreement amid concerns over lack of progress.
The agreement, reached in a meeting in Washington on September 17-18 and first reported by Reuters, would see implementation begin on October 1, according to the joint statement, which was also issued by the US, Qatar, Togo and the African Union Commission.
