Rwanda’s president to attend Russia-Africa summit in Moscow
Rwanda’s president is expected to attend the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow on October 28-29.
Rwanda’s ambassador to Russia said the two countries intend to sign an agreement establishing their first socioeconomic and political commission.
The planned commission is meant to support cooperation between Rwanda and Russia.
Rwanda also wants to extend economic links to Russia’s North Caucasus region.
