Verbal translation of the video
Now we are here today to talk about the DRC in general. I'm sure some people are interested in the ongoing peace process right now.
Next week, we have technical teams here to try to take the next step. We have signed the agreements of principle now. We are committed to putting these principles into practice. We did what I think, as much as we can on online video, calls, emails. It's time to reunite the teams. So we're doing it right now.
Now the timeline, as you may have heard, we signed these agreements of principles in April. We have these technical teams here today. We are still aiming for a peace agreement in June or July. It's a bit what the United States brings to the table, it's an extremely aggressive chronology, frankly, an ambition. It's no use doing stupid things about it. If we are going to do it, we do it. We're doing it now. We are not going to wait six months for the next meeting. We have to get there. And so, yes, that's what we are talking about. And I must note that the reason we are involved is that both parties have asked us to be involved. Both parties said: Okay, maybe you can do this thing. And that's why we're here, that's why we're at the heart of it all. But the key principle is that there are a number of processes you have heard of. You've heard about the Luanda and Nairobi processes. We now have a Doha process. And then, of course, there is the AU process. These are not separate places that can be played against each other. These are organized. They are coordinated and they support each other. And in fact, we will have the Qataris here next week as well as part of the negotiations.
