Democratic Republic of the Congo–Kenya relations are bilateral relations between Kenya and Democratic Republic of the Congo. The DRC is a strategic partner of Kenya in many areas, particularly trade and security. Kenya maintains an embassy in Kinshasa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Nairobi. HistoryPresident Kabila of the DRC has visited Kenya on multiple occasions. On one of the occasions he met with Former President Kibaki to discuss issues pertaining gold smuggled from mines in Kivu, Eastern DRC. The gold smuggling business has been thought to fund the rebels in DRC. Further investigations revealed that Kenya was at the centre of the multi-billion shilling gold smuggling ring, spanning several countries. [1]These revelations haven't dented Kenya's relationship with the DRC. Both countries are inhabited by significant Swahili speaking populations, Swahili is the national language in both countries. Kenya and the DRC share some cultural similarities. Peace deal with M23The peace deal between the Government of the DRC and leaders of the M23 rebellion was brokered by multiple parties and was signed in Nairobi in late 2013. M23 was routed in a UN-backed offensive by government troops. Under the deal there would be no amnesty for those wanted for war crimes. The deal was hosted by Uhuru Kenyatta, the President of Kenya.[2] Kenya has also been a key partner in stabilising Eastern DRC.[3] Joint Commission for CooperationBy the end of 2014 both countries were to sign a Joint Commission for Cooperation. Under the agreement Kenya was to establish a consulate in Goma and DRC in Mombasa[3] The deal would help deepen trade and investment between both countries. The deal would be Kenya's first major trade agreement with a Francophone African country. The trade agreement will offer Kenya preferential access to the Central Africa state, which has a population of 90 million people.
