Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo are working on a joint security plan that could mend ties between the two countries after almost three years of hostilities.
Senior military officials and ministers of defence from both countries met in Kigali and agreed to set up a joint team for the repatriation of ex-M23 rebels in Rwanda, and Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) rebels in DRC. The officials have also agreed to hold security meetings regularly.
