Rwanda's Foreign Minister Vincent Biruta arrived in New Delhi on Thursday on an official visit to further enhance India-Rwanda ties. He will conclude his visit on December 8 and depart for Rwanda.

The India-Rwanda bilateral relations have been cordial and have grown steadily over the years, as per the MEA.

India's engagement with Rwanda is at three levels, at the African Union (AU) level, at the level of the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and the bilateral level.

India's engagement with Rwanda has been consultative, response-based and focused on developing Rwandan capacities and human capital, as per the MEA.

Indian assistance to Rwanda has also been guided by the announcements made by India at the India-Africa Forum Summits in 2008, 2011, and 2015.

After the first India-Africa Forum Summit (IAFS-I), Rwanda was nominated by the AU as one of the recipients to host the India-Africa Vocational Training Centre (VTC). (ANI)
