Nduhungirehe was speaking Friday in Press Conference in Kigali. He openly revealed that there are poor relations between both countries.
“No secret there are problems. Last month Rwandans were arrested and tortured in Uganda, though they were later on released,” he said.
He said that both countries continue discussions on solving issues which would lead to the relations restoration.
“Despite Rwandans facing unjustified arrests and torture; other group of 40 people was arrested at Uganda-Tanzania borders heading for military rebel activities. This alerted us and started discussions,” he explained.
He said that both countries have had different discussions. There are those between Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and East African Community Affairs Minister, Louise Mushikiwabo and her Ugandan counterpart, Sam Kuteesa.
He said that President Paul Kagame and Yoweri Museveni also discussed the matter.
Nduhungirehe said that the joint commission that would discuss relations restoration is expected to meet in the near future.
“Problems are still there, that is why we should collaborate with Uganda in solving them, we need to tackle them from the ground. As East African Community member countries, we should foster good relations,” he added.
Nduhungirehe said that Rwanda continues to promote international relations in order to sustain benefits of the country.
