After the solemn ceremony, the Ambassador and the permanent secretary held a cordial and friendly meeting in which they reviewed the current state of relations between the two countries and exchanged on other national and international issues of mutual interest. Both sides welcomed the good state of relations between Cuba and Rwanda and the prospects of cooperation that currently exist in various socio-economic sectors of the African country, and pledged to work in the future on strengthening bilateral relations and the development and diversification of cooperation for mutual benefit. The Cuban Ambassador traveled to Rwanda to participate in the inauguration ceremony of President Paul Kagame, recently reelected by an overwhelming majority.
