The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the development via X handle.

Following the conversation, Lord Collins took to X and described it as constructive. He shared more areas of discussion including the strength of the UK-Rwanda partnership on development, the Commonwealth, and security in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The discussion also touched on the recently proposed ceasefire between warring factions in the DRC, a measure supported by countries including Rwanda, as part of the Luanda agreement.

Late last month, President Paul Kagame met with the UK Prime Minister in Paris, where they reaffirmed their commitment to fruitful bilateral cooperation.

Their talks focused on strengthening partnerships in trade, sports, technology, and environmental protection, as well as the need to address illegal migration.

Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olivier Nduhungirehe, held a call on Thursday with Lord Collins of Highbury, the new UK Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office.
