first Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Region. It is resolved to keep all the commitments it made by this signature and we call on the other signatory States to do likewise. It is also in that context that, although at a prohibitively high cost, given our country’s limited resources, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been leading successful operations against hostile forces and armed groups, which over the past 15 years have spread death and destruction in the eastern part of its territory. To that same end, it has also dispatched its own sons and daughters as soldiers and police officers to serve under the flag of the United Nations throughout the world. It also feels challenged, as does the rest of humankind, by the current migration crisis, which demonstrates — as if a demonstration were needed — the precariousness of the human condition.
