<p>We are committed to supporting efforts to build greater stability in the Democratic
Republic of Congo (DRC) and Great Lakes. Ministers and officials regularly meet with
representatives of the UN, MONUSCO mission leadership and Ministers from the DRC,
Rwanda and other countries in the region to emphasise the importance of full implementation
of UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions 2098 and 2147.</p><p>We continue to believe
that the threat posed by the FDLR to civilians and the wider security of the region
must be comprehensively tackled. As the 2 January deadline for voluntary disarmament
has now passed and full surrender has not materialised, we believe that military action
must restart against the FDLR as soon as possible. The UNSC Presidential Statement
of 8 January is clear about this and we are lobbying regional leaders to deliver on
the action they have promised.</p>
