The decades-long conflict escalated in January, when the M23 rebels advanced and seized the strategic eastern Congolese city of Goma, followed by the town of Bukavu in February. The fighting has killed some 3,000 people and raised the fears of a wider regional war.
According to officials from both sides, the delegations from Congo's government and the M23 rebel group also met on Wednesday in Doha, Qatar's capital. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the negotiations.
The talks follow a recent Qatar-facilitated meeting between Congolese and Rwandan presidents in Doha and failed efforts by neighboring countries to get both parties to return to dialogue and recommit themselves to a peace deal they each accuse the other of violating.
