Rwanda and Tanzania maintain a robust partnership in areas such as technology and communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two countries also have existing cooperation agreements covering media, education, ICT, and internet infrastructure among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July 2025, Rwanda and Tanzania on Saturday signed two memoranda of understanding to facilitate cooperation in agriculture and the establishment of a Tanzania Ports Liaison Office in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreements were signed by Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Olivier Nduhungirehe and Tanzanian counterpart Mahmoud Thabit Kombo during a ministerial session of the 16th Joint Permanent Commission (JPC) between the two countries in Kigali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
