{{Tanzania’s President Jakaya Kikwete has reportedly sent his special assistant, Prof Mark Mwandosya, to Kigali for a week-long official visit ‘to learn on how Rwanda plans and implements social and economic services’.}}
The Pro government media (The Citizen) says Prof Mwandosya, is a minister of State in the President’s Office, Special Duties, he reportedly travelled to Rwanda on Saturday .
Diplomatic relations between Kigali and Dar es Salaam have been at an all-time low.
Diplomacy between the two countries was shaken following Kikwete’s advice last May that Rwanda initiates talks with FDLR rebels as part of efforts to end the DR Congo crisis.
Rwanda felt offended by President Kikwete’s advice and rejected the idea outright saying that they cannot sit down with genocidaires.
However, President Paul Kagame of Rwanda and his counterpart held talks in the Uganda capital Kampala last August over the matter.
