We welcome the Angola-led Ad Hoc Verification Mechanism's important role in monitoring the ceasefire. We commend the governments of the DRC and Rwanda for their commitment to pursue negotiations to end this conflict. The United States stands ready to support the implementation and monitoring of the ceasefire, in particular through the Angolan Ad Hoc Verification Mechanism's efforts.
