Morocco and Rwanda have reached a new milestone in their bilateral cooperation by signing a structuring military agreement in Rabat on Wednesday, June 18, aimed at strengthening their ties in the fields of defense and security.
Signed on the sidelines of the official visit of the Rwandan Minister of Defense, Juvenal Marizamunda, received by his Moroccan counterpart, Abdellatif Loudiyi, Minister Delegate in charge of National Defense Administration, this agreement illustrates the willingness of both countries to diversify their military partnerships on the African continent, beyond traditional alliances. The Rwandan Ambassador to Morocco also took part in this high-level meeting, symbolizing the strategic and diplomatic nature of this cooperation.
According to the terms of the agreement, the two parties intend to collaborate in several key areas: military personnel training, joint training, bilateral maneuvers, logistics, military health, technical assistance, and expertise sharing.
A joint military commission will be established to ensure the monitoring and implementation of the agreed actions, with meetings to be held alternately between Rabat and Kigali.
A common vision for security in Africa
The two ministers welcomed the convergence of views between their countries on the main security challenges facing the continent. They called for a rapid and effective implementation of the commitments made, reaffirming their commitment to strengthening South-South cooperation and promoting regional stability.
This initiative is part of a continental dynamic where Morocco and Rwanda emerge as committed actors in the construction of an African architecture for peace and security, based on solidarity and regional integration.
