Clementine Mukeka, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and her counterpart of Eswatini sign four agreements
Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame received King Mswati III and Inkhosikati Make LaMashwama at Urugwiro Village for an official welcome ceremony, during which King Mswati inspected the Guard of Honour before the two Heads of State proceeded to hold a tête-à-tête.
They also witnessed the signing of Memoranda of Understanding on Defence, Police Cooperation, Correction Service and Visa Exemption for holders of Diplomatic and Service Passports.
The official visit follows the King’s participation in Inauguration2024 and aims to further bolster the growing bilateral cooperation between Rwanda and the Kingdom of Eswatini.
“Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for joining all Rwandans for the inauguration ceremony. We are very grateful for your presence. From this visit, it is evident that Rwanda and Eswatini are very good friends, and we want to keep it that way and even go further. Moving forward, we also want to strengthen our bonds of cooperation. That is the purpose of the agreements signed today. Over the years, several high-level visits have been undertaken in Rwanda and Eswatini by our respective delegations. This is a good foundation to build on. In Rwanda, we are very eager to share with partners and friends, such as Eswatini, our experience in the transformation journey of our country”, said President Kagame during the official visit of King Mswati III, Head of State and King of Eswatini.
President Paul Kagame was sworn into office on Sunday for a five-year term, after a landslide win in last month’s election extended his near quarter century in office. (End)
