Kenya has moved to address lingering suspicions arising from problems with the East African Community Regional Force (EACRF), seeking to strengthen ties on other issues with Kinshasa.
Nairobi says it is committed to DRC’s pursuit of long-term peace in eastern parts of the country and wants to draw from the economic fruits of that achievement.
