A spokesperson for Tshisekedi, Tina Salama, said on X that his government takes “note” and will “wait to see the implementation of this approach of the Angolan mediation”.
Peace talks have stalled over Tshisekedi’s repeated refusal to engage in dialogue with M23 which, backed by Rwandan troops, has carried out a lightning offensive in eastern DRC.
The U-turn comes after Tshisekedi met Angolan counterpart Joao Lourenco on Tuesday to discuss the conflict.
Since January, the two major cities of eastern DRC — Goma and Bukavu — have fallen into the hands of the M23 group, which took up arms again in 2021.
It is supported by some 4,000 Rwandan soldiers, according to UN experts.
Kinshasa says more than 7,000 people have died in the offensive this year.
Kinshasa accuses neighbouring Rwanda of wanting to exploit the rich mineral resources of the eastern provinces of North and South Kivu, but Kigali denies the charge.
