The Rwandan embassy in Morocco was inaugurated at a ceremony on Wednesday in Rabat.

The opening of this embassy, ​​which comes after that of Morocco in Kigali in April 2017, is important for both countries since it is part of the strengthening of bilateral relations especially after the visit of King Mohammed VI in Kigali in October 2016, said Nduhungirehe, after the inauguration ceremony.

For his part, Bourita said that the opening of this embassy confirms the positive dynamic of bilateral relations, noting that since the king’s historic visit to Kigali, the two countries have been able to establish a solid partnership with the signing of more than 34 cooperation agreements, increasingly regular exchange of visits and coordination in regional and international forums

“Today we are in a very promising phase of bilateral relations”, he noted, adding that the Sovereign and President Paul Kagame share the same vision with regard to South-South partnership and African integration and at the AU.

The city of Rabat is in the process of becoming the first diplomatic capital of North Africa and West Africa, he said, noting that other embassies will be open soon including that of Philippines.

This transformation of Rabat into an important diplomatic platform is a recognition of the King’s role and testifies to the Kingdom’s place as a pole of stability, of regional action and as an important actor on various files, he continued. , arguing that it also confirms that from Rabat, many countries cover North Africa, West Africa and sometimes even the southern Mediterranean.
