Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Vincent Biruta, received copies of the letters of credence of Mrs. Nermine El Zawahry, Ambassador-designate of Egypt to Rwanda.
“The two countries enjoy good bilateral cooperation in various sectors”, according to Rwandan diplomacy.
Rwanda and Egypt enjoy longstanding relationships before and after independence. Both countries have built friendships in major areas of trade, education, and health.
The year 2019 started with a new impression on Rwanda-Egypt relations. It is the year in which President Paul Kagame who chaired the African Union in 2018 handed over to his counterpart of Egypt, Abdel Fattah El Sisi.
Later on, top Government officials have been meeting to build vivid relationships built on mutual trust. So far, more than 81 Rwandan students study in Egypt in different universities excluding other Rwandans living in Egypt for different businesses.
Today the cooperation grew and extended to other important sectors that include agriculture, commerce, air transport, environment and security. (End)
