D.R.C.’s relations with neighboring countries have often been driven by security concerns, leading to intricate and interlocking alliances. Domestic conflicts in the [[Central African Republic]], [[Sudan]], [[Uganda]], [[Angola]], [[Rwanda]], and [[Burundi]] have at various times created bilateral and regional tensions. The current crisis in eastern D.R.C. has its roots both in the use of the Congo as a base by various insurgency groups attacking neighboring countries and in the absence of a strong Congolese Government with a military capable of securing Congo’s borders. The war has been exacerbated and prolonged by the exploitation of Congo’s resources by neighboring countries. Although 2003 and early 2004 saw a number of improvements in regional relations, mid-to-late 2004 was marked by increased tension between the D.R.C. and Rwanda.

In June 2025, President Felix Tshisekedi signed an agreement with [[Rwanda]]. [[US President Donald Trump]], whose administration mediated the pact, said the deal also grants [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] rights to local mineral wealth. Tshisekedi said at the start of the 2025 [[UN General Assembly]] session, however, that the agreement has failed to stop the clashes and his [[government]] will not "auction" the country’s mineral wealth to the [[US]] as part of Washington's efforts to end the protracted violence, ''[[Reuters]]'' reported.
