It was the first time for the Presidents of the two neighboring countries to meet after Tchisekedi was declared winner of the Presidential elections held in DRC last year.<\/p>\n
The 32nd AU two day Summit that was held in Addis on February 10 to 11th this year was the first AU Summit President F\u00e9lix Tshisekedi attended after his election as President of Democratic Republic of Congo in December last year.<\/p>\n
What marked President Kagame and Kagame\u2019s meeting was not announced by Rwanda\u2019s Presidency.<\/p>\n
After he was elected to lead the DRC, Tchisekedi expressed that his country wishes to join the East African Community which is chaired by Rwanda for a year stint.<\/p>\n
Over the last 20 years, DRC became home to groups that expressed wishes to cause insecurity in Rwanda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
