The Czech Republic Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tomas Dub yesterday held discussions with Defense Minister Gen. James Kabarebe about strengthening defense ties between his country and Rwanda.
“In the recent months, we signed a memorandum of understanding on defence cooperation” Dub said after the meeting. “Leaving aside the MoU signed recently, the two countries can exchange a lot of fighting techniques,” Dub said.
He however noted that the pact between the two countries is not fully implemented hence the continuous visits and discussions on how to strengthen defense ties between Rwanda and Czech Republic.
“I would like my visit to simply focus on continuing our cooperation,” he said.
Defence and military Spokesperson, Lt. Col. Jill Rutaremara, told reporters that Dub’s visit at the ministry aimed at looking into how the Rwanda-Czech defence pact can be implemented.
He added that Rwanda could learn a lot from the Czechs mainly in fighting techniques, particularly through its air force.
Dub later invited the defense and foreign affairs ministers to the Czech Republic to pick out what Rwanda could learn from them.
