From Carswell on Stockhouse U.S. Welcomes Congo Cease-Fire Agreement WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States welcomed a cease-fire agreement for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and offered to help put it into effect. ''We look forward to reviewing carefully the text of the agreement to see how we can most effectively support implementation of this accord,'' said a State Department statement released late Wednesday. Earlier Wednesday in Lusaka, African defense and foreign ministers endorsed the draft cease-fire document to halt hostilities and withdraw foreign forces from the Congo. Zambian President Frederick Chiluba announced Thursday that African heads of state would converge on Lusaka Saturday to sign the agreement. The State Department said: ''The United States welcomes the cease-fire agreement.... We congratulate President Chiluba and the Government of Zambia for their central role in hosting the talks and leading the mediation effort.'' It said the United States encouraged the parties to the conflict to sign as quickly as possible, to implement and respect the cease-fire and to act in good faith.
