DRC Government, M23 Rebels Sign Landmark Peace Declaration Facilitated by Qatar
In a significant step towards de-escalation, the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and representatives of the Congo River Alliance/March 23 Movement (M23) have signed a Declaration of Principles. The agreement, facilitated by the State of Qatar and observed by the United States, marks a crucial advancement for peace and stability in the volatile Great Lakes region.
The United States has commended all parties involved for this meaningful commitment, specifically acknowledging Qatar’s instrumental leadership in fostering dialogue between the DRC and M23. This diplomatic breakthrough is seen as vital for supporting a peaceful resolution to the long-standing conflict.
This latest achievement builds upon the Peace Agreement previously signed between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Rwanda on June 27, 2025, in Washington, D.C., and complements ongoing efforts to establish durable peace and prosperity across the region. The United States urges all signatories to uphold their commitments under the new Declaration of Principles and to continue discussions aimed at achieving a comprehensive peace agreement, ultimately restoring DRC authority and inclusive governance in eastern DRC.
