SUBJECT: BAN KI-MOON VISITS THE DRC ON FIRST OFFICIAL TRIP 
 
1. (U)  Summary:  Ban Ki-Moon, newly elected Secretary 
General of the United Nations, spent two days in the DRC en 
route to the African Union Summit.  Ban met with President 
Kabila, Prime Minister Antoine Gizenga, members of the 
parliamentary opposition, and addressed the National 
Assembly.  Ban and Kabila met at the Kisangani governor's 
offices toward the end of Ban's trip. Ban also visited 
Brazzaville briefly to meet with the Republic of Congo's 
president and current AU chair, Denis Sassou Nguesso.  End 
summary. 
 
2. (U)  Ban Ki-Moon, the new United Nations Secretary General 
(UNSG), arrived in the DRC on January 26 for a two-day visit 
en route to the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa.  On his 
first official trip as UNSG, Ban highlighted the UN's 
interest in Africa and underscored the achievements of MONUC, 
the UN's largest peacekeeping operation.  He was accompanied 
by his wife and by Jean-Marie Guehenno, the Under 
Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations.

3. (U)  On January 27 in Kinshasa, Ban met with Prime 
Minister designate Antoine Gizenga and members of the 
parliamentary opposition before addressing a special session 
of the National Assembly.  He called on members of the 
Assembly to "make a contract of good governance" both among 
themselves and with the Congolese people, emphasizing that 
"reestablishment of the authority of the state, and the 
foundation of the rule of law in all countries is necessary 
for the consolidation of peace and democracy."  Ban 
emphasized the need for security sector improvements, good 
governance, and the need to have a full role for a democratic 
opposition. 
 
4. (U)  At a press conference following his address, Ban 
underlined "the importance of constructive dialogue between 
different ethnic groups," and encouraged the DRC's 
"government and political leaders to engage in an inclusive 
political process." 
 
5. (U)  Ban visited the Kalembe Lembe hospital, the DRC's 
first hospital dedicated to treating pediatric HIV/AIDS 
cases.  The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) opened the 
HIV/AIDS unit, which is now supported by PEPFAR, UNICEF, and 
the World Food Program, among other donor groups.  Ban 
briefly crossed the Congo River to meet with the Republic of 
Congo's president and current AU chair, Denis Sassou Nguesso. 
 
 
6. (SBU)  Later that evening, a somewhat sparsely-attended 
government dinner in Ban's honor was held in Kinshasa. In 
President Kabila's absence, Foreign Minister Ramazani and 
National Assembly President Vital Kamerhe presided.

7. (U)  Ban and Kabila met January 28 for an hour at the 
Kisangani Governor's offices.  Ban reaffirmed the UN's 
commitment to the DRC through MONUC, the UN's largest 
peacekeeping force.  He  emphasized the need for the DRC to 
strengthen its army in order to sustain peace and stability. 
Stating "it is necessary to work together to consolidate the 
peace and promote development," he called for the Congolese 
to address the major challenges facing the country, urging 
improved access to healthcare and education, better provision 
of potable water and basic services, and general improvements 
in infrastructure. 
 
8. (U)  Ban visited MONUC's Eastern Division Headquarters, 
where he met with peacekeepers and praised their work in the 
volatile eastern Congo region.  He also laid a wreath at the 
memorial for MONUC peacekeepers who died in the line of duty. 
 He left directly from Kisangani for the AU Summit, 
accompanied by SRSG Swing.

9. (SBU)  Ban's visit sent a strong and welcome signal of the 
UN's commitment to the DRC, to Africa, and to peacekeeping

operations.  Clearly, MONUC is being showcased as a DPKO 
success story.  The one off-note of the visit was the 
non-presence in Kinshasa of President Kabila.  End comment.
