The two leaders met at a conference on restoring peace in Ukraine, held in Switzerland last weekend.
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, mentioned that he had collaborated on numerous projects with Biruta when he was the Foreign Minister and thanked Rwanda for attending the conference.
He said, “I met with the leader of the Rwandan delegation, the Minister of Internal Security, Vincent Biruta. In his previous role as Rwanda’s Foreign Minister, Vincent and I greatly enhanced the bilateral relations between our two countries. Ukraine opened an Embassy in Kigali, and our partnership continues to grow. I appreciated Rwanda’s participation in this Global Peace Conference and its steadfast support for the upholding of international law.”
Dmytro Kuleba recently visited Rwanda in May 2023. During this visit, he was received by President Paul Kagame and delivered a message from his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
They discussed the war in Ukraine and ways to support peace initiatives aimed at ending it.
This visit also culminated in the two countries signing a cooperation agreement in political consultancy.
The conference where Minister Biruta represented Rwanda was attended by 100 countries, aiming to explore ways to bring an end to the prolonged conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The conference concluded with over 80 countries signing a document reaffirming Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, stating that these principles are essential for achieving a sustainable peace solution in Ukraine.
However, countries like Brazil, India, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia refused to sign the document.
