South African President Thabo Mbeki, heading a delegation of more than a dozen ministers, signed deals with DR Congo on defense and infrastructure on Tuesday as the former Belgian colony rebuilds after historic elections.
The visit was the first such high-level meeting between the two nations since Democratic Republic of Congo held its first democratic polls in more than four decades last year, meant to turn the page on a devastating 1998-2003 war.
