The ongoing peace talk between government of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the M23 Rebel has been described as a positive discuss by members of the U.N. Security Council delegation to DRC.

CEOAFRICA.com gathered that both parties have resolved to implement a regional peace, security and cooperation agreement.

Speaking about the discussion of the delegates with the Congolese officials, British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said the discuss centered on the talks in Kampala, Uganda between the DRC and M23 rebels; commitments made in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia under the Regional Peace and Security Framework, and internal reforms.
 
“The message that we heard from everyone was a relatively reassuring one, in that the president and other ministers said that they hoped Kampala talks would conclude very shortly," he said.

"And also that they felt they were well advanced, and indeed more advanced than some of the neighboring countries, on fulfilling their commitments under the wider peace framework agreement.”
 
M23 briefly seized the eastern provincial capital of Goma last year. Since then, the U.N. Stabilization force, MONUSCO, has been beefed up with a 2,500 strong offensive force that is supposed to protect civilians from all armed groups. So far, it has mainly gone after the M23 because the rebels pose a constant threat to the population. 

Another delegate from France, Alexis Lamek, said Congolese authorities signaled that a political solution is within reach in Kampala.
 
The delegation travels to the eastern DRC, where it met with the governor of North Kivu province, members of civil society and displaced persons.
