The agreements were signed during the visit of Rwandan President Paul Kagame, who met with his Congolese counterpart Felix Tshisekedi in Goma on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The agreement signed concerns the promotion and protection of investments, taxation and tax evasion between the two countries and a memorandum on gold mining cooperation.<\/p>\n
According to Felix Tshisekedi,”It is time to experience the other side of sharing peace, love and economic fraternal exchanges between our two countries”<\/p>\n
We signed a number of agreements. I believe this is just the beginning. There are many areas that we are going to come to, in which we can cooperate to build a solid relationship, but also bases for cooperation between our two countries.” added Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda.<\/p>\n
It was an occasion for DRC to reiterate its interest to join the East African Community (EAC), a decision that is generating reactions in Goma.<\/p>\n
The two presidents have held many meetings in recent months, particularly during international summits. Before the Rubavu meeting, the two leaders met face-to-face on May 17 in Paris, on the sidelines of the international summit for the financing of African economies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
