According to the Embassy of Rwanda in Addis Ababa, their discussions centered on strengthening bilateral cooperation between Rwanda and Ethiopia. Rwanda and Ethiopia enjoy strong diplomatic ties, with cooperation spanning multiple sectors, including defense, police, trade, air services, capacity building, agriculture, education, health, culture, tourism, correctional services, extradition treaties, mutual legal assistance, women and children’s welfare, communication, information, and media. Both nations also collaborate on multilateral initiatives. Joint military exercises, intelligence sharing, and training programs highlight the defense partnership between the two countries. In October 2024, Rwandan defense officials met with Ethiopian military leaders to enhance defense cooperation, with a focus on peacekeeping and regional security initiatives. On December 16, 2024, the Rwanda National Police and the Ethiopian Federal Police signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen police cooperation in promoting peace, stability, and security. The MoU was signed during an official visit by Rwanda’s Inspector General of Police to Ethiopia. The two countries have also signed agreements to boost trade and investment. In February 2024, during the Third Joint Ministerial Commission meeting, Ethiopia and Rwanda finalized agreements on trade, investment, and political consultation, aiming to streamline regulatory frameworks and create business opportunities. Additionally, both nations have established air service agreements to enhance connectivity and promote tourism.
