There is now a chance that we may be witnessing a new direction towards peace, stability and development in the Great Lakes region. In this regard, the Pact on Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes Region signed by countries of the region is significant because it creates a positive environment for sustainable development.”

There has been a reduction in both intra-State and inter-State conflicts. Even though we are still concerned about the negative forces that remain active, particularly in the eastern part of the Congo, tensions have been reduced. Nonetheless, South Africa is pleased at the progress that has been made in countries such as Burundi, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which recently inaugurated a democratic Government.”
