The bilateral cooperation between Rwanda and Australia has taken a new
direction with Ambassador Charles Murigande presenting his credentials
to the Governor General of Australia.
Murigande has been Rwanda’s ambassador to Japan but will also be
Rwanda’s High Commissioner to Australia.
“I delivered the message from President Paul Kagame wishing the Governor General Peace and good luck and thanking Australia’s support for Rwanda’s Admission into the Commonwealth Organisation,” Murigande told Igihe.com in Perth soon after meeting the Australian Governor General Ms Quentin Bryce.
“The Governor General also praised the existing good relationship between his country and Rwanda. He also commended the progress achieved by Rwanda since the tragic 1994 Tutsi genocide,” Murigande added in interview.
The two countries have agreed on Education Cooperation aimed at providing skills improvement of Rwandan Teachers.
At the occasion, High Commissioner Murigande was accompanied by Michel
Roux who has been representing Rwanda’s Interests in Australia with his
Seat in Melbourne.
