Angola will on Wednesday host an attempt at mediation between the presidents of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and neighbouring Rwanda.
The meeting is coming against a background of tensions between the two African nations.
Angolan President, Joao Lourenço, will receive his counterparts Felix Tshisekedi and Paul Kagame as relations between the two countries have been deteriorating for several weeks amid the resurgence of the M23 rebel movement and the intensification of fighting in eastern DRC.
Kinshasa accuses Kigali of supporting the rebels, a claim denied by the Rwandan authorities.
Defeated in 2013, the M23 Tutsi-dominated movement took up arms again at the end of last year, blaming the Congolese authorities for not respecting an agreement for the demobilisation and reintegration of its fighters.
