The development follows the recent visit by Rwandan President Paul Kagame to Guinea Conakry on 17th April 2023 where he met with Col Doumbouya for a discussion exploring ways to collaborate in areas of mutual interest.<\/p>\n

During the visit, both countries signed cooperation in areas including ICT. <\/p>\n

On Thursday last week, Col. Doumbouya told his government that he had held talks with his counterpart in Rwanda on different issues beneficial to both countries. <\/p>\n

He said that a joint cooperation commission between Rwanda and Guinea was established, in addition to experts\u2019 committees from both parties that will continue to oversee the implementation cooperation agreements signed on 18th April 2023. <\/p>\n

Col. Doumbouya requested the Prime Minister to try all means to support the joint commission to begin assuming its functions and ensure signed agreements come into force in the near future.<\/p>\n

Vision Guin\u00e9e news outlet has reported that the Minister in charge of Transport has been instructed to make fast preparations for air flights from Conakry to Kigali. <\/p>\n

Guinee Airlines, the country\u2019s airline, was in operation since 1999 but halted in 2004. <\/p>\n

Rwanda\u2019s carrier, RwandAir continues to expand to different destinations across the world. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile; the Minister of Foreign Affairs was assigned to prepare for the designation of an envoy representing the country\u2019s interests in Rwanda with a view to reinforce friendship and cooperation between both countries. <\/p>\n

During his visit to the West African country, President Kagame reminisced on the need of sharing expertise among African nations. <\/p>\n

“Sharing knowledge and expertise among ourselves as Africans and with other partners around the world is useful and necessary. We do this to help us create the conditions for our citizens to live long, healthy and productive lives and contribute to the advancement of our countries,\u201d Kagame said.<\/p>\n

He further stressed the need for collaboration between countries because working alone cannot lead to desired progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one has everything needed, all in one place, to succeed alone. So, cooperation in different fields is indispensable,\u201d President Kagame said.<\/p>\n

During his stay in the country, the Head of State also attended the inauguration of Pont Paul Kagame Kagb\u00e9len highway interchange that was named after him. <\/p>\n

The Republic of Guinea is currently led by an interim presidency after a military coup in September 2021 that ousted former President Alpha Cond\u00e9. <\/p>\n

The interim presidency is expected to lead the country until elections can be held in 2024 to establish a permanent government.<\/p>\n

Alpha Cond\u00e9 had led the country since 2010. He was ousted after winning the third unconstitutional term.<\/p>\n
