In addition to the MoU signed with Ethiopia, Rwanda has forged similar agreements with several other countries to strengthen international cooperation in policing and security in recent years.

In October 2024, Rwanda signed an MoU with Qatar to support institutional development and address emerging security challenges.

In March 2024, Rwanda entered into an agreement with Dubai Police in the UAE, focusing on knowledge exchange in areas like counter-terrorism and forensic science.

Rwanda also strengthened its ties with Botswana in January 2024, targeting issues such as terrorism, human trafficking, cybercrime, and organized crime.

Rwanda’s commitment to regional security was further demonstrated in 2022 when it signed a cooperation agreement with the Central African Republic to combat transnational organized crime, terrorism, and other security threats.
