Deputy UN Spokesman Farhan Haq said that Alan Doss, the UN secretary-general's special representative, visited the provinces of North and South Kivu over the weekend with the Congolese defense minister and other senior officials to assess the progress of a campaign against the notorious ethnic Hutu militia, known as the Democratic Liberation Forces of Rwanda (FDLR).
"The two sides agreed to strengthen the planning and execution of their military and other joint tasks," Haq said.
