The Ministry for Foreign Affairs has today, Thursday 27 February, summoned the Rwandan Ambassador in Stockholm.
The purpose of the summoning is to take a clear stance – like the EU and several other European countries – against the Rwandan Defence Force’s and the armed group M23’s continued offensive in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The offensive is a violation of international law and the territorial integrity of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Sweden and the EU have repeatedly urged Rwanda to stop supporting M23 and withdraw its troops. Sweden has also urged Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to resume regionally led peace talks.
