Ahead of his arrival, senior Mozambican officials traveled to Kigali, including Minister of Defence Maj. Gen. Crist\u00f3v\u00e3o Artur Chume, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Maria Manuela dos Santos Lucas, Chief of Defence Forces Maj. Gen. Andr\u00e9 Rafael Mahunguane, and Inspector-General of Police CP Fabi\u00e3o Pedro Nhancololo.<\/p>\n

On August 26, the delegation held talks with their Rwandan counterparts in a meeting chaired by Gen. (Rtd) James Kabarebe, Rwanda\u2019s State Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. The discussions focused on strengthening existing bilateral cooperation and exploring new areas of collaboration.<\/p>\n

According to Mozambique\u2019s Ambassador to Rwanda, Amade Miquidade, cooperation between the two countries dates back to 1990. It gained momentum in 2018 with the creation of a joint cooperation commission, and in 2021 when Rwanda deployed troops to Mozambique\u2019s Cabo Delgado province to support counter-terrorism operations.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Miquidade explained that President Chapo\u2019s first visit to Rwanda as Head of State will reaffirm commitments in defence and security\u2014particularly in counter-terrorism efforts\u2014while also broadening economic cooperation.<\/p>\n

On the afternoon of August 27, President Chapo is expected to visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial at Gisozi, where he will pay tribute, hear testimonies, and view exhibits reflecting Rwanda\u2019s tragic past and path to recovery.<\/p>\n

Later that day, he will be formally received by President Paul Kagame at Village Urugwiro. The two Heads of State will hold a private meeting, followed by a broader session bringing together officials from both countries to discuss cooperation, with emphasis on security and economic development.<\/p>\n

On August 28, President Chapo will meet with Rwandan investors interested in Mozambique and tour the Kigali Special Economic Zone at Masoro to observe Rwanda\u2019s industrial achievements and identify opportunities for shared growth.<\/p>\n

He is also scheduled to meet Mozambican nationals residing in Rwanda, many of whom are engaged in sectors such as construction. The state visit will conclude with a press briefing during which President Chapo will outline the key outcomes of his trip.<\/p>\n
