Rwandan, Ugandan military hold cooperation meeting

Rwandan and Ugandan military commanders met at Bombo military barracks in the Ugandan capital Kampala on Thursday to discuss modalities for cooperation between the two countries in the DRC, news organisations reported. “This is just a follow-up of the summit meeting of the heads of state in Kabale (southwestern Uganda) on 8 November,” the Chinese news agency quoted Ugandan Army Commander Jeje Odongo as saying. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and Rwandan President Pasteur Bizimungu agreed at Kabale to resolve outstanding problems between the two countries, adopt a “common vision” on the DRC and set up strategies to help those Congolese opposed to Kabila.
