The Kingdom of Eswatini has signed a cooperation agreement with Rwanda.

This happened yesterday where Ministers of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Eswatini and Rwanda Thuli Dladla (L) and Dr Vincent Biruta(R) signed the agreement between the two countries.

This was on the sidelines of the 26th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) which ended yesterday. The agreement will allow the two countries to share knowledge on economic, scientific , technical, environmental, educational and cultural matters.

During the signing ceremony, Minister Dladla said: “This agreement is a precursor to what we believe will be a formal relationship that serves as a basis for the deepening of fraternal ties between our two Nations and, in the process, betters the lives of our peoples.”

Minister Dladla: “This can give rise to sector specific agreements that will lead to formal relations in economy and finance, trade, investment, mining; tourism, culture, health, social welfare & justice, agriculture, parks and wildlife and study visits and sharing of experiences amongst others.”

Elaborating, the minister said “We hope that this interaction will not only be at the level of Governments, but shall also devolve down to our peoples as we continue to break down the differences that only serve to divide us and embrace our oneness as Africans as we strive to reach our collective goals and ideals as captured through various proclamations in the multilateral spectrum.”
