The agreement, signed in N\u2019Djamena on Wednesday by Rwanda\u2019s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Olivier Nduhungirehe, and his Chadian counterpart, Dr. Abdoulaye Sabre Fadoul, aims to deepen cooperation in areas of common interest and create a formal framework for enhanced collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his visit, Minister Nduhungirehe, who is also a Special Envoy of President Paul Kagame, held an audience with Marshal President Mahamat Idriss D\u00e9by Itno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this occasion, he handed a letter from President Kagame requesting Chad\u2019s support for Rwanda\u2019s nomination of Louise Mushikiwabo for a third term as Secretary-General of the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rwanda has officially nominated Mushikiwabo ahead of the 20th Francophonie Summit, scheduled for November in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having led the international Francophone network since 2019, Mushikiwabo has advanced initiatives promoting language, culture, and cooperation. If re-elected, she would become only the second Secretary-General, after former Senegalese President Abdou Diouf, to serve three terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The establishment of the Great Joint Cooperation Commission and the diplomatic engagement surrounding Mushikiwabo\u2019s candidacy highlight Rwanda and Chad\u2019s shared commitment to regional cooperation and international diplomacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
