Doha, Qatar: The State of Qatar announced on Saturday the signing of the Doha Framework for the Peace Agreement between the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Congo River Alliance (M23 Movement).

According to a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this development marks a new and important milestone in the ongoing peace process facilitated by Qatar, building on the momentum of the Doha Declaration of Principles signed on July 19 in Doha.

The Framework reaffirms the Parties' shared commitment to addressing the root causes of the conflict through structured dialogue, confidence-building measures, and a phased approach to de-escalation and stabilization.

It further underscores the priority placed on the protection of civilians, respect for human rights, the safe and dignified return of displaced persons, and the advancement of national reconciliation and unity. The Doha Framework serves as the foundational reference document for the broader peace process.
