Congo has accused Rwanda of backing M23 rebels in the east of the country.

U.N. experts say the rebels are supported by about 4,000 troops from the neighboring nation.

The agreement signed included a commitment to respecting territorial integrity.

Both sides also committed to a ministerial-level meeting next week and invited leaders of both countries.
