The discussions between President Kagame and Minister January Makamba were also attended by other officials from both sides, including Rwanda’s Foreign Minister, Dr. Vincent Biruta, and the State Secretary for Regional Cooperation in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Gen (Rtd) James Kabarebe.<\/p>\n

Minister January Makamba began his four-day visit to Rwanda on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, with the goal of reinforcing the friendship and cooperation between Rwanda and Tanzania. <\/p>\n

In a recent press conference, he emphasized that the two countries are inseparable friends and partners in various sectors, including transportation, technology, agriculture, and more.<\/p>\n

Makamba highlighted Tanzania’s commitment to facilitating Rwanda’s use of the Dar es Salaam port for cross-border trade, emphasizing the importance of smooth trade operations through the port.<\/p>\n

This visit follows several others made by the leaders of the two nations in recent times. <\/p>\n

On November 2, 2023, President Kagame had discussions with his Tanzanian counterpart, Samia Suluhu Hassan, who was in Rwanda for the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) Forum. <\/p>\n

This was after President Kagame’s visit to Tanzania in April of the same year, which followed President Suluhu’s visit to Rwanda in August 2021.<\/p>\n

During President Suluhu’s visit, the two countries signed five agreements in areas including technology and communication, human and goods mobility, education, and pharmaceutical regulations.<\/p>\n

Rwanda and Tanzania have a history of collaboration, especially in trade, as Rwandans use the Dar es Salaam port and Rwandan goods are also sold in Tanzania.<\/p>\n
