Kigali, Thursday (February 22, 2024) – H.E. President Salva Kiir Mayardit, chairperson of the East African Community (EAC), and Rwandan President Paul Kagame on Thursday held a meeting on peace in the region.

Speaking to reporters, EAC Secretary General Dr. Peter Mathuki said President Kiir discussed ways of strengthening intra-partner state relations within East Africa, besides peace and security situations within the region, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Head of State will proceed to the Burundian capital, Bujumbura, to meet President Evariste Ndayishimiye before making a final leg of the visit to DR Congo, where he will hold similar discussions with President Felix Tshisekedi.

After concluding the three-nation peace tour, President Kiir will then convene an EAC Summit, with the view of mending relations between member states and resolve conflicts in the region.
