On 10 February 2005, the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo authorized a visit to the country by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Burundi in keeping with their desire to normalize relations of good neighbourliness between the two countries.

On 5 January, the President of Burundi promulgated a law on the establishment of a national Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
