The Rwandan Embassy explained that the group was led by Major General Craig W Strong, who is the commander of this military unit in the State of Nebraska.
Rwandan diplomats and the soldiers discussed enhancing the existing cooperation between the state and Rwanda, aimed at benefiting the citizens of both sides.
The Embassy stated, "The leadership of the National Guard in Nebraska discussed with the Rwandan side on strengthening cooperation for the benefit of the citizens of both sides."
Rwanda and this military branch of Nebraska signed a cooperation agreement on peacekeeping globally on December 12, 2019.
At that time, Gen Maj Dary L. Bohac, who was leading this unit, announced that through this agreement, his soldiers would gain significant knowledge in peacekeeping, and they would also share their unique expertise with the Rwandan military.
He said, "It’s not that Rwanda needs us; we need each other. This cooperation is good because we respect the strength of the Rwandan military in peacekeeping, which is something we as the Nebraska forces don’t have expertise in. We will learn a lot from it, but we also have knowledge to share."
Rwanda has 4,585 troops in United Nations peacekeeping missions in the Central African Republic and South Sudan, making it the fourth-largest contributor of troops to such missions worldwide.
