Welcoming the delegation, Gen MK Mubarakh, noted that the RDF and the Ghana Armed Forces have maintained a long-standing relationship and share strong commitments, particularly in the areas of military professional education and training exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the current visit provides another opportunity to share experiences and further strengthen the existing relationship between the two defence institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Deputy Commandant, Brig Gen Eric Kodo Konadu, thanked the Rwanda Defence Force for the warm welcome and noted that Rwanda and Ghana share a strong and historic relationship, which was further strengthened by the positive role played by Ghanaian peacekeepers during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described the study tour as an opportunity to further strengthen the existing relationship and enable the visiting officers to gain a deeper understanding of Rwanda\u2019s experience in national security, national cohesion and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their visit to RDF Headquarters, the delegation also attended a briefing on the RDF\u2019s transformation journey and its contribution to regional and international peace and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session highlighted the RDF\u2019s evolution from a liberation movement into a modern and professional military institution committed to national development, regional peace and international security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of their itinerary, the delegation visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial to pay their respects to the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, followed by a tour of the Campaign against Genocide Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remainder of their programme will include visits to the RDF Command and Staff College, military welfare institutions such as Zigama CSS and Military Medical Insurance, as well as several government institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
