<p>The UK Government has a long-standing commitment to supporting prosperity, development,
and stability in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). We continue to monitor the security
situation in eastern DRC closely and are deeply concerned by the grave humanitarian
consequences. We are one of a few partners who have a permanent presence in Goma,
despite the security challenges, and will continue to operate in the east to work
with the Government and humanitarian partners. We regularly raise the conflict in
eastern DRC with DRC, Rwanda and the region, where we urge all parties to deliver
on their commitments, agreed through the Nairobi and Luanda processes, including the
withdrawal by armed groups including M23. The UK firmly believes the regional Nairobi
and Luanda diplomatic peace processes provide the best means by which to achieve a
lasting peace in eastern DRC and offer them our full support. We will continue to
work with members of the international community to bring an end to the violence.</p>
