The Qatari delegation is expected to monitor compliance with the terms of the agreement and assess progress towards ending the fighting between the two sides. The move is aimed at strengthening confidence in the peace process.
The agreement is seen as an important step towards addressing the prolonged conflict in eastern DR Congo, where clashes between M23 fighters and government forces have displaced large numbers of people and created a serious humanitarian crisis.
Qatar's involvement is part of wider diplomatic efforts to promote peace and stability in the region. The monitoring team is expected to work with relevant parties to encourage both sides to respect the agreement and support efforts towards lasting peace.
