Annan hails JMC meeting

    NAIROBI
    UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has hailed the success of the first full meeting of the Joint Military Commission (JMC) in Kampala this week. In a statement, he said the UN looked forward to working with the JMC towards the restoration of peace in the DRC. The security guarantees given in Kampala would allow the UN to proceed with the deployment of military liaison officers and civilian personnel to rear and field headquarters in the DRC, Annan said. A technical survey team would also be sent there soon to review conditions on the ground which would hopefully lead to the eventual deployment of UN peacekeepers.
