We welcomed the genuine interest by President Donald Trump and his team in the State Department after the Leaders’ meeting to cooperate, and since then they have worked with us, hand-in-hand, day after day, to achieve what we have accomplished so far, including the two important agreements, one signed in Washington between Rwanda and DRC and another one signed in Doha between DRC and AFC/M23.” Investing the time and effort to develop and bring more sustainable economic opportunities for the people of DRC has been always an important incentive —a future where security is preserved but also economical opportunities are gained and I think Dr. Boulos has reflected on this aspect in the press conference two days ago when he said the meeting with President Trump at the White House will not only be an opportunity for peace and security but also an economical opportunity for many of the African countries in the region to benefit from this peace and build upon it by bringing more economical initiatives that will benefit all.”
