Both heads of state were addressing members of the press on Tuesday as Kenyan President William Ruto visited Rwanda on the invitation of his counterpart, Paul Kagame.
During the two-day state visit that began on Tuesday, both countries signed 10 cooperation agreements in the areas of education, health, agriculture and ICT among others.
President Ruto acknowledged the commendable progress made in the area, citing the presence of additional troops, including soldiers from Burundi and Angola, and the success of persuading armed groups to lay down their arms and respect agreements.
He made the disclosure at a time when M23 combatants continue to withdraw from captured areas including Bunagana, Sake, Mshaki, Neenero, Kilorirwe and others.
President Kagame similarly stressed progress in recent weeks and called on the “outside world” to support African leaders’ proposed solutions to the crisis.
He emphasized the need to “do more and register more progress towards the solution.”
