President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette arrived in Turkey on January 22, 2025, for an official working visit.<\/p>\n

On January 23, they visited An\u0131tkabir, the resting place of Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk, and laid a wreath in honor of the leader who held power from 1923 until his death in 1938.<\/p>\n

An\u0131tkabir mausoleum complex is located in the \u00c7ankaya district of Ankara, the capital of Turkey. It was constructed between 1944 and 1953. <\/p>\n

Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk, renowned as Mustafa Kemal Pasha until 1921, was a Turkish Field Marshal and political leader who spearheaded the revolution that established Turkey as an independent and modern republic.<\/p>\n

President Kagame is also scheduled to hold talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan.<\/p>\n

Following their private discussions, the two leaders are expected to address the press and later attend a state dinner together.<\/p>\n

The bilateral relations between Rwanda and Turkey have grown significantly since Rwanda opened its embassy in Ankara in 2013. <\/p>\n

The following year, Turkey reciprocated by opening its embassy in Kigali. To strengthen this partnership further, Turkey’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mevl\u00fct \u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu, visited Rwanda in May 2016. <\/p>\n

During this visit, three cooperation agreements were signed, focusing on foreign affairs, education, and easing travel between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Currently, the governments of Rwanda and Turkey have 18 cooperation agreements, covering areas such as culture, science, technology, and innovation.<\/p>\n

Some of these agreements were signed in January 2023 during a visit to Rwanda by Minister Mevl\u00fct \u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu, reinforcing the long-standing ties between the two nations.<\/p>\n
