The Secretary noted these heads of state meetings are instrumental for facilitating the de-escalation of regional tensions, and in particular between the DRC and Rwanda. The Secretary underscored the importance of free and fair Kenyan elections that are peaceful and reflect the will of the Kenyan people.
