The bilateral relationship between these two countries is still new but gained momentum after Rwanda opened its embassy in Conakry in January 2024.
Rwanda and Guinea signed 12 agreements on October 9 in Kigali during a session of the Joint Cooperation Commission. According to announcements from both countries' foreign ministries, the deals cover several areas, including public administration modernization, export promotion, tourism development, and cooperation in special economic zones. They also focus on migration data management, defense and security, justice, economy, and trade.
“The partnership between our two countries is based on complementary and a win-win approach,” said Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe. He noted that Rwanda can benefit from Guinea’s expertise, particularly in mining, while Guinea can learn from Rwanda’s experience in public service innovation and digitization.
Although their bilateral relationship is relatively new, it has strengthened since Rwanda opened its embassy in Conakry in January 2024. Guinea’s President Mamadi Doumbouya, who took power after a coup in September 2021, has expressed interest in adopting Rwanda’s development model. The two nations' leaders have met at least three times to explore cooperation opportunities.
In addition to the agreements, both countries have set up a follow-up mechanism to ensure the proper implementation of recommendations from this first session of the Joint Cooperation Commission.
