"We have convened here to identify the political process and institutional reforms necessary to create an environment conducive to the disarmament of armed groups & to deepen the consultation of communities and armed groups from the concerned areas.

"Having been to Goma and listening to stories of the suffering that people have gone through for so long, I’m more convinced that more effort should be spared in bringing peace and stability to the Eastern side of DRC," Kenyatta said during the meeting.
