  1. “The Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to support regional efforts, in particular the Nairobi and Luanda processes, and calls on the Security Council to further support those processes by maintaining maximum pressure on Rwanda and its M-23 proxy to comply with the provisions of the Nairobi and Luanda peace plans. For the M-23, that means laying down their arms, accepting cantonment, demobilizing and joining the Disarmament, Demobilization, Community Recovery and Stabilization Programme, in line with the recommendations from the Luanda peace plan. Paragraphs 4 and 8 of the report before us refer to the Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR), as have some members.”

  2. “In the immediate term, with elections on the horizon, my country’s priority remains the restoration of peace in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Among other things, that requires the end of Rwanda’s aggression, which will be determined by the verified withdrawal of all its troops, including the members of its army surreptitiously embedded within the M-23, the cantonment of the M-23, the return of displaced persons to their homes and the restoration of their freedom to exercise their civic rights by 20 December, the return of children to school and to their right to an education, which they have been deprived of since the aggression of Rwanda and the M-23.”

  3. “That regrettable observation necessarily raises the question of the need to revisit the Framework Agreement, an approach that my Government has supported. In that regard, it should be pointed out that the National Oversight Mechanism established in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to ensure the implementation of the country’s commitments under the agreement will hold consultations in Kinshasa from 24 to 25 October. Their outcome will help us draw up a road map enabling the Democratic Republic of the Congo, together with the signatory countries to the Addis Ababa Framework Agreement, to participate meaningfully in the Durban retreat to be held from 31 October to 1 November. My delegation welcomes that initiative and commends the efforts of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General in that regard.”

  4. “As we meet here today, the Rwandan Defence Forces, the regular army of Rwanda, a signatory to the Addis Ababa Framework Agreement, and its Mouvement du 23 mars (M-23) terrorist auxiliaries continue to occupy positions within the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations, the Constitutive Act of the African Union and the agreements governing the subregional organizations to which that country belongs. Ten full years after its signing, the Addis Ababa Framework Agreement, whose provisions my country has conscientiously implemented, has seen no signs of implementation on the part of certain parties, including Rwanda, despite their status as signatories.”

  5. “My delegation has taken note of the Secretary- General’s report on the implementation of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Region, presented by his Special Envoy for the Great Lakes Region, Mr. Huang Xia, whom I am pleased to see here today. The report, which provides a midterm assessment on compliance with the commitments made under the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the period from 16 March to 15 September, raises several issues that my delegation believes warrant the Council’s careful attention in its capacity as the principal organ of the United Nations responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  6. “I would also like to take this opportunity to once express the gratitude of the Government and the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo for the efforts by the United Nations to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country and its often-voiced desire for lasting stability and peace. I would like to pay well-deserved tribute to the Secretary-General for his 3 October report (S/2023/730), which is before the Council, and for his continued and unwavering concern and personal involvement in working to build peace in the Great Lakes region and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Lastly, I welcome the presence via video-teleconference of the Executive Secretary of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, Mr. João Samuel Caholo, and I thank our sister Ms. Malimukono for her briefing.”

  8. “We are very grateful to the Council for that, and we would like once again to thank all Council members for their hard work to produce the text, which is the basic text that will determine the decision to be taken by the Council in December. As the Council is aware, the Congolese people are eagerly awaiting that text, which will help to ease tensions between the local population and MONUSCO and to prevent the kind of damage we saw in August. We are very grateful, and we extend to the Council our sincerest thanks. The meeting rose at 10.10 a.m. 2/223-30538”

  9. “Christophe Lutundula Apala Pen’apala, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Francophonie, who clearly explained it to the Council (see S/PV.9427). I am here today, first of all, to congratulate all the members of the Security Council for having embarked upon difficult and laborious negotiations that fortunately resulted in the compromise text of the presidential statement that the Council just agreed. On behalf of the President of the Republic and the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I would like to thank the Council for the exercise it has undertaken and to point out that the text lays the foundations for MONUSCO’s withdrawal from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in accordance with the wishes expressed by the Government and by the Head of State.”

  10. “Mr. Mukongo (Democratic Republic of the Congo) (spoke in French): As this is the very first time that I address the Security Council, I would like to thank all Council members for giving us the opportunity to address this United Nations organ. The Council will recall that His Excellency Mr. Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, took the rostrum to address the General Assembly at its recently commenced seventy-eighth session. On that occasion, he presented to Member States the vision of the Democratic Republic of Congo with regard to the process whereby the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) is to withdraw from the country. That vision was reaffirmed before the Council by His Excellency Mr.”
