Belgium and Rwanda have resumed diplomatic relations 18 months after ​breaking ties due to a dispute over the conflict in ‌eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot and Rwanda's foreign ministry both posted the news on X alongside photos of Prevot and his Rwandan ​counterpart Olivier Nduhungirehe in New York, where the United Nations General ​Assembly is taking place.

They also thanked Qatar for facilitating a first meeting in June 2025 and said they planned ​to reopen their respective embassies soon.
Prevot wrote on X ​that this ⁠was an important step "in a world marked by growing tensions".
"Restoring diplomatic relations between states does not mean abandoning our position, but having structured channels ⁠for ​dialogue, and I will continue to defend ​the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the DRC," he said.

South African police have arrested three people over the death of a woman whose body was found east of Johannesburg last week, after a spate of femicides reignited public anger over violence against women.
