KIGALI, Rwanda
Guinea’s transitional leader Lt. Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya arrived in Rwanda this Thursday for a three-day official visit aimed at strengthening bilateral ties between the two countries.
Gen. Doumbouya, accompanied by
the First Lady Lauriane Doumbouya, was welcomed at Kigali International Airport
by President Paul Kagame before he inspected a guard of honour and treated to a
traditional dance performance.
Guinea’s Presidency announced
on Wednesday that President Doumbouya will be in Rwanda to reciprocate a visit
by President Paul Kagame last year in April, during which the two leaders
agreed to strengthen bilateral and diplomatic ties.
He is expected to hold talks
with President Kagame and also officially open his country’s embassy in Kigali.
He will also visit Kigali Genocide Memorial at Gisozi to pay his respects to
victims of the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi.
During President Kagame’s
visit, the two countries agreed to work together to address challenges they
face and rely on each other’s attributes to advance socioeconomic development,
with the Head of State stating that Rwanda and Guinea share a lot in common.
