KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Congo’s President Felix Tshisekedi will travel to the U.S. next week to sign a final agreement with his Rwandan counterpart aimed at securing peace in eastern Congo, the Congolese government said Friday, capping monthslong diplomatic efforts spearheaded by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Any signing by Congo, however, will be conditioned on Rwanda’s withdrawal of support for the M23 rebels, according to Tina Salama, a spokesperson for President Tshisekedi, told The Associated Press.

Tshisekedi’s confirmation of the Dec. 4 signing comes a day after Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame expressed optimism over the deal, but cautioned that lasting peace in Congo’s eastern region can only be achieved if “people directly concerned are committed to achieve results.”
