Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Tony Lloyd (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 11 November 2008 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.


Democratic Republic of the Congo

Question
When my right hon. Friend visited Rwanda, was he able to impress upon President Kagame his view that a political solution was absolutely vital and that, just as we expect President Kabila of the DRC to play his part, President Kagame must now insist that Rwanda should be on the side of peace, not of war?
Answer

Yes, it is evident that Rwanda has important responsibilities in this respect, and Bernard Kouchner, the French Foreign Minister, and I certainly impressed that on President Kagame, who made it clear that he and his country would fulfil their responsibilities. That is the significance of the regional process that has now been started.
