Embal\u00f3 had previously visited Kigali in July 2024 for President Kagame\u2019s inauguration ceremony. <\/p>\n

In 2023, Kagame traveled to Guinea-Bissau, where he was honored with the Am\u00edlcar Cabral Medal, the highest distinction awarded to heads of state from nations friendly to Guinea-Bissau. <\/p>\n

Named after the African hero who fought against colonialism, the medal symbolized the deepening ties between the two countries. <\/p>\n

During that visit, Kagame toured the national museum dedicated to Am\u00edlcar Cabral, and Guinea-Bissau\u2019s soldiers performed a song celebrating the strength of Rwandan forces, with lyrics proclaiming, \u201cThe Rwandan army is strong; we defeated the enemy and chased him away.\u201d Rwanda\u2019s diplomatic relations with Guinea-Bissau are overseen by its ambassador to Senegal. <\/p>\n

Located in West Africa, Guinea-Bissau has a population of about 2.1 million people, most of whom rely on peanut farming and fishing, and its growing partnership with Rwanda reflects a shared commitment to African solidarity.<\/p>\n
