The relationship between Rwanda and Sweden has flourished for over 20 years, primarily through cooperation in sectors such as education.

During a ceremony on March 23, 2023, celebrating 20 years of partnership in research and other development activities through the ’UR-Sweden Program’, Amb. Teague highlighted the importance of continuing this collaboration.

Meanwhile, British High Commissioner Omar Daair has shown keen interest in strengthening the relationship between his country and Rwanda, supporting various initiatives during his tenure.

Notably, Rwanda and the UK signed the Migration and Economic Development Partnership, facilitating the transfer of migrants staying illegally in the UK to Rwanda.

This agreement, however, faced challenges following the new UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s assumption to power and it was terminated.
