President Paul Kagame on Monday received the Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza in Huye Town in the Southern Province of Rwanda.
President Kagame receives his Burundian counterpart at the second day of his visit to the Southern Province.
Meanwhile Burundian President arrives in Rwanda weeks after Rwanda started receiving Burundi refugees.
Over three thousand refugees from northern Burundi have sought safety in a camp in Rwanda.
Last week, Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza reportedly called for the repatriation of Burundian citizens who have fled to Rwanda since March, urging them to return to Burundi within one month.
Rwandan officials maintain that they cannot expel Burundian refugees as the country is a signatory of the one refugee convention- which doesn’t allow any country to force asylum seekers to return home unless security is guaranteed.
