00:00Thank you all for being here today. I'm honored to be here with my counterparts, the foreign ministers of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to witness the Declaration of Principles for Peace in the Eastern DRC.
00:15It's a declaration that establishes a fundamental understanding of regional governance, security, economic frameworks, and to end the fighting and allow the region to reach its full potential.
00:26The eastern part of the Democratic Republic has seen 30 years of conflict, durable peace, and long-lasting economic development is not going to be easy, but it is important.
00:38And having both of my counterparts here, the foreign ministers of these respective countries, demonstrates the beginning of a strong commitment to having the conversations that we need to have in order to reach a resolution.
