President Paul Kagame has received his counterpart of Mozambique, Filipe Nyusi who came to Rwanda in the morning of Thursday 10th February 2022.

Nyusi was last in Rwanda in April last year seeking support to fight terrorists in his country.

Following the request, Rwanda started deploying the joint troops of Rwanda National Police and Rwanda Defence Force that have so far reached nearly 2000.

Rwanda’s Presidency has via Twitter handle revealed that both Heads of State have discussed the good progress that has been made between Rwanda and Mozambique in the ongoing cooperation towards securing Cabo Delgado as well as other areas of bilateral collaboration.

President Kagame’s latest visit to Mozambique was in September 2021 where he interacted with Rwandan troops deployed to fight insurgents in the country.

Nyusi comes to Rwanda following his visit to European countries where he requested the European Union to support joint operations conducted by Rwandan soldiers and SADC forces to fight insurgents in Cabo Delgado.

The Ambassador of the European Union (EU) delegation to Rwanda, Nicola Bellomo recently said that the bloc is holding discussions with Rwanda to determine needed support to its interventions to fight insurgents in Mozambique.

He made the revelation on Tuesday 25th January 2022, during the annual Article 8 Dialogue that took place at the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in Kimihurura.

Amb. Nicola Bellomo said that such dialogue is a good platform to share ideas on areas of cooperation between Rwanda and EU including trade and investment, governance, unity and reconciliation among others.

He also reminisced on cooperation with EU and the African continent, integration efforts and foreign policy.

“In this context, I will refer to operations in Mozambique. I am confident this dialogue will provide additional elements to inform the ongoing discussion on possible EU support to Rwanda and to identify new avenues to promote and preserve peace and security on the continent,” he said.
