{{Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete said on Friday relations with Rwanda had soured because of his efforts to bring peace to neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.}}<\/p>\n
In his monthly address to the nation, Kikwete said Tanzania nevertheless wanted to continue its historically positive relations with Rwanda while working to bring peace to Congo.<\/p>\n
On May 26 Kikwete said all the countries involved in the Congo peace talks, including Rwanda, should talk to all the rebel groups, a comment that drew fierce criticism from Kigali where negotiating with FDLR rebels is seen as unacceptable.<\/p>\n
“Our relations appear to have been shaken following my advice to the Rwandan government to seek dialogue with their enemies,” Kikwete said on Friday.<\/p>\n
“I would like to assure our brothers and sisters in Rwanda that nothing has changed nor diminished from us in our relations and cooperation,” he said.<\/p>\n
