一位资深联合国官员向安理会表示，刚果民主共和国东部存在“和平的机遇之窗”。该地区富含矿产资源，却长期陷入冲突之中。
A senior United Nations official has told the Security Council there is a “window of opportunity” for peace in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, a mineral-rich region plagued by decades of conflict.
联合国受影响的五湖地区特使黄夏在周二表示，由美国和卡塔尔领导的和平进程均取得了“显著进展”。
Huang Xia, the UN special envoy for the impacted Great Lakes Region, on Tuesday said that both US- and Qatar-led peace processes have achieved “notable progress”.
然而，他补充道：“尽管外交努力持续不断，刚果民主共和国东部的安全和人道主义状况仍在恶化。”
However, “despite this sustained diplomatic effort, the security and humanitarian situation in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo has continued to worsen”, he added.
多方参与冲突，包括卢旺达支持的M23武装团体和刚果政府军，在该地区发生冲突，促使一系列国际外交努力展开。
Several parties, including the Rwanda-backed M23 armed group and the Congolese army, have clashed in the territory, prompting a series of international diplomatic efforts.
黄夏强调“抓住当前和平努力协调一致所带来的机遇之窗的紧迫性”。他表示：“这种机遇之窗不会永远保持开放。”
Huang stressed the “urgency of seizing the window of opportunity, which is currently offered by the increased alignment of peace efforts”. “Such a window does not remain open indefinitely,” he said.
因此，他敦促各方将承诺转化为可核验的行动，并将信任建立在行动之上，而非仅凭宣言。
“I therefore urge all parties to translate commitments into verifiable actions, and to place their trust in confidence built through deeds rather than through declarations.”
刚果政府和M23于2025年7月在多哈签署了关于停火的承诺。刚果民主共和国和卢旺达也于同年12月在华盛顿特区正式签署了一项由美国斡旋的和平协议。然而，地面上的战斗仍在继续。
The Congolese government and the M23 signed a commitment towards a ceasefire in Doha in July 2025. The DRC and Rwanda also formalised a US-brokered peace deal in December in Washington, DC. However, fighting has continued on the ground.
8月，在瑞士举行了新一轮谈判，美国、卡塔尔和非盟代表参与其中。
New talks were held in August in Switzerland, involving representatives from the United States, Qatar and the African Union.
黄夏表示，联合国将促成10月18日在赞比亚首都卢萨卡举行的会议，届时布隆迪、刚果民主共和国、乌干达、卢旺达和坦桑尼亚的国防部长将参与会谈。
Huang said the UN would facilitate a meeting on October 18 in Zambia’s capital, Lusaka, between the defence ministers of Burundi, the DRC, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania.
