Rwanda, Congo Meet to Oversee Peace Deal; Implementation Delayed
Rwanda and Congo are trying to make peace, and the U.S. is helping.
They had a meeting to oversee the peace deal made last month.
The deal says Rwandan troops should leave Congo, and they will work together on security.
Some parts of the plan haven't started yet.
A U.S. official said things are going well, even though some parts are taking longer than expected.
They hope to end fighting that has killed many people and get more investment in the area.
Rwanda and Congo held the first meeting of a joint oversight committee.
The meeting is part of a peace deal agreed last month in Washington.
The deal involves troop withdrawal, security coordination, and targeting armed groups.
Some commitments, like forming a security mechanism, are behind schedule.
The U.S. administration is involved in the peace process.
