Sa'ar, Herzog meet officials from DRC in tie strengthening visit to Israel
President Isaac Herzog and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar welcomed Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner and President Felix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa ar welcomed the Foreign Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner, and President Félix Tshisekedi on Tuesday, marking a step towards strengthening ties between the two nations. The visit comes as Israel and the DRC discuss comprehensive relations, including security challenges faced by Israel.
The implementation of a peace agreement between Congo and Rwanda was also on the agenda. President Isaac Herzog welcomed Tshisekedi to Israel, calling him a dear friend. The two countries have a rocky history, having severed diplomatic relations following the Yom Kippur War in 1973. However, they restored ties in the early 1980s, and Tshisekedi has since strengthened cooperation with Israel in various fields, including agriculture, technology, and security.
