Rwanda and India Cooperation
Bilateral relations between India and Rwanda have been growing stronger over the years. In 1999, Rwanda officially opened its Mission in New Delhi and posted a Chargé d’Affaires. Rwanda appointed its first resident Ambassador in New Delhi in 2001.
The bilateral cooperation between India and Rwanda has grown to cover a broad range of areas, including development cooperation in infrastructure, agriculture, energy, education, training, and capacity building. It has expanded beyond development cooperation to include defense and security.
India has, until now, been represented to Rwanda by the Indian High Commissioner with residence in Kampala. India has now opened a resident Mission in Kigali.
Rwanda and Venezuela Cooperation
The diplomatic relationship between Rwanda and Venezuela dates back to August 18, 1981.
Since then, both countries have been working together to strengthen their diplomatic ties and foster mutually beneficial cooperation in various areas.
In 2023, Rwanda and Venezuela, through their Ministers of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Visa Waiver for holders of Diplomatic, Official, and Special passports.
