This position was conveyed by Foreign Minister Amb. Olivier Nduhungirehe, during a phone conversation with Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi, Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, on June 24, 2025 as indicated in a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.<\/p>\n

Al Udeid Air Base, situated in the desert southwest of Doha, is the most recent American military installation established in the Middle East. <\/p>\n

Since its creation in 1996, it has functioned as the forward headquarters for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), overseeing U.S. military activities across a vast area that spans from Egypt in the west to Kazakhstan in the east.<\/p>\n

Rwanda and Qatar have a strong partnership across various sectors, including investment, tourism, and transportation.<\/p>\n

This relationship underscores Rwanda\u2019s commitment to promoting a diplomacy rooted in mutual respect, peace, and development.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Iran launched attacks on United States military bases in Qatar and Iraq following strikes against it on Sunday, June 22, 2025.<\/p>\n

Qatar\u2019s Ministry of Defense released a statement saying the country\u2019s air defense systems intercepted missiles launched by Iran toward the Al-Udeid base, with no casualties reported.<\/p>\n
