Miyet meets Kabila

    NAIROBI

    The Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations Bernard Miyet on Friday held talks with DRC President Laurent-Desire Kabila as part of the UN’s efforts to explain its plans to deploy an observer mission. “A preliminary read-out of the meeting indicated that the discussions were positive,” UN spokesman Fred Eckhard told journalists in New York. “Miyet is seeking the full support essential to deploy the more than 5,500-strong force,” he said, adding that the reconnaissance missions to the four sectoral headquarters of the newly approved UN observer mission had been planned for as early as next week.
