EU delegation meets Kabila

    NAIROBI

    Representatives of member countries of the European Union held talks with President Laurent-Desire Kabila in Kinshasa this week to discuss aid and reconstruction. The head of European Commission in Kinshasa, Henry Sprietsma who was present at the talks, told IRIN on Thursday the talks focused on resuming structural assistance within the framework of the recently-signed Lusaka peace accord. He said Kabila was "very happy" with
    the Lusaka accord. He added that most of the EU member countries were in favour of resuming aid, but this would only come about once the rebels had signed the accord and peace had returned to the country.
