The plenary session is to tackle high-level military and security services appointments, powers to declare war and order an armistice, guarantees on national sovereignty and freedom of the judiciary, among outstanding issues.

They negotiators have also to agree on modalities for a transitional government programme, the appointment of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and other issues related to the presidential post when it falls vacant.

The Arusha peace talks are the final efforts to end the Rwandan crisis that has caused widespread death and destruction, plunging the tiny central African country into economic chaos.

Diria said the that the situation in Rwanda was now quiet after reports last week that the two-month-old ceasefire between the government and rebel forces had been sporadically violated.

He said the ceasefire was "still holding firmly."
