Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwandan President Paul Kagame and his Ugandan counterpart Yoweri Museveni on Sunday held bilateral talks in Kampala.<\/p>\n

The two leaders agreed to push for regional peace and stability by jointly addressing the security situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as part of the East African Community.<\/p>\n

The talks came on the backdrop of last week\u2019s meeting in Nairobi by the bloc\u2019s Heads of State in which they agreed to set up a regional military force bent on ending decades of insecurity in eastern DRC, caused by militia groups.<\/p>\n

According to a statement from State House, Museveni assured his Rwandan counterpart who was on a one day private visit that the problems affecting the region like the crisis in DRC needed collective approach from all regional members.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis time we must insist on working together because these people have suffered a lot. I told President Kenyatta that if we don\u2019t come in as a region, Congo may become like Sudan,\u201d Museveni said.<\/p>\n

Kagame also said the DRC problem can be resolved if leaders of all the armed groups hold talks and agree on a way forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey need to talk without leaving anyone behind,\u201d Kagame said according to the State House statement.<\/p>\n

Kagame, later on, on an invitation by the Ugandan leader and the first Lady Janet Museveni, attended a birthday celebration dinner in honour of their son Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba who turned 48.<\/p>\n

This was the first time the Rwandan President has visited Uganda since March 2018. There had been heightened tensions between the two countries since 2018 that saw Kigali close its common border with Uganda.<\/p>\n

Rwanda then accused Uganda of harassing its nationals and supporting dissidents bent on removing the government in Kigali while Kampala accused Rwanda of conducting illegal espionage on its soil.<\/p>\n

The two countries have since held several talks to normalise relations and the border was reopened- Via theEast African<\/p>\n
