**Fatshimetrie: Key Meeting Between Congolese and Ugandan Parliaments to Strengthen Bilateral Relations**
The recent delegation of Congolese MPs led by Lambert Mende Omalanga to Kampala, Uganda, marked a crucial moment in the history of bilateral relations between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. Indeed, this highly strategic mission aimed at strengthening transparency and sincerity in security ties between the two nations proved fruitful, laying the foundations for closer and more effective collaboration.
Lambert Mende stressed the strategic importance of relations between the Congolese and Ugandan parliaments, particularly in the context of the current destabilization of the Great Lakes region. Indeed, with the extended common border and growing security challenges, cooperation between the two countries is of paramount importance for maintaining regional peace and stability.
The imminent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the parliaments of the DRC and Uganda is a testament to the commitment of both countries to strengthen their parliamentary collaboration. This partnership promises not only to consolidate political and institutional ties, but also to foster more constructive dialogue and fruitful exchanges between legislators of the two countries.
The expressed willingness of the Speaker of the Ugandan Parliament, Anita Annet Among, to travel to Kinshasa in the near future to continue the discussions initiated during the visit of the Congolese delegation to Kampala is a positive sign of the mutual commitment to deepen inter-parliamentary cooperation.
Furthermore, the fruitful exchanges between the Congolese delegation and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni have laid the foundations for mutual understanding and enhanced trust between the two countries. The satisfaction expressed by Yoweri Museveni regarding the collaboration established between the Congolese and Ugandan parliaments underlines the importance of this new dynamic of regional cooperation.
The context of the joint military operation Shujaa led by the DRC and Uganda to combat armed groups active in the region underlines the urgency of strengthening coordination and cooperation between the two countries. The success of this operation will depend largely on the strength of bilateral relations and close collaboration between the authorities of the two countries.
In conclusion, the meeting between the Congolese and Ugandan parliaments has paved the way for a new era of cooperation and mutual understanding between the two nations. By strengthening inter-parliamentary ties, the DRC and Uganda are committed to working together to promote peace, stability and development in the Great Lakes region.
