‘Four plus four’ in gains consolidation

The Rwanda-DRC bilateral framework, dubbed ‘Four plus four’ has seen both countries witnessing the warming up of relations. The success of this warm up was the recently concluded joint military offensive against the  negative  forces; Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda ( FDLR) holed up in Eastern DRC in an operation dubbed ‘Umoja Wetu’. The above developments point towards a strong basis for the future strengthening of the Rwanda- DRC relationship. The strengthening of this partnership is undertaken via routine sessions known as ‘four plus four’ bilateral framework whose next round is scheduled to commence in Kinshasa today. The reason for Rwanda’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Rosemary Museminali, to lead a high level delegation to Kinshasa.
