Pweto is a town located in the Haut-Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It serves as the administrative center for the Pweto Territory.
The town was significantly impacted by the Second Congo War, during which it was the site of a decisive battle in December 2000. This engagement led to increased efforts from both sides to achieve peace, though the conflict left Pweto and the surrounding region devastated. As of 2011, there had been minimal progress regarding the restoration of infrastructure or the rebuilding of the local economy.
Transportation to the area is facilitated by Pweto Airport.
