Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi leaves the country today for a two-day official visit to Luanda, Angola.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary will represent President William Ruto at the Summit of Heads of State and Government of the signatory of the countries of the Framework Agreement for Peace, Security and Cooperation for DRC.
“The event will be held on May 3, 2023,” a dispatch from the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary said.
The Framework Agreement for Peace, Security, and Cooperation for the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Region was signed in 2013 by 11 African countries, including Kenya.
The signing ceremony took place in the African Union (AU) Headquarters, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in the presence of several African and international dignitaries.
The United Nations, the AU Commission, the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) also signed the agreement as witnesses.
The agreement seeks to promote peace, stability, and development in the DRC and the Great Lakes region of Africa.
The summit of heads of state and government of the signatory countries is an important forum for discussing the progress made towards achieving these objectives and identifying any challenges or obstacles that need to be addressed.
The summit is a follow-up to the 11th session held in May in Bujumbura, Burundi.
