According to a statement from the U.S. State Department, Secretary Rubio will oversee the signing of a “declaration of principles” on Friday, alongside DRC Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner and Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe.
A declaration of principles is defined as a formal document that outlines the shared values, intentions, and commitments of parties entering into a diplomatic or peace process.
While not always legally binding, it serves as a foundational framework for future negotiations or agreements.
The State Department has yet to release further details about the content of the agreement.
Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe confirmed to IGIHE that a signing is indeed scheduled, but did not disclose specific terms of the agreement.
