The summit received updates on the peace and security situation in the DRC and Mozambique, and reiterated SADC’s support for the two countries towards bringing lasting peace and security.
The regional leaders commended those involved in attempts to bring peace to the DRC and Mozambique, saying an armed attack on one member is deemed a threat to regional peace and stability.

It disapproved contents of a recent correspondence by Rwanda to the United Nations and the African Union Commission discouraging support for the SADC mission in the DRC.
