The Democratic Republic of Congo's government has signed a peace deal with the M23 rebel movement its forces defeated last month, Kenya's presidential spokesman says.
The accord was signed in the presence of regional leaders in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, Manoah Esipisu said.
Last month, the government refused to sign a deal brokered by Uganda.
At least 800,000 people fled their homes during the conflict.
The M23 took up arms in eastern DR Congo in April 2012, accusing the government of marginalising the ethnic Tutsi minority and failing to honour previous peace accords.
