A working session was later convened, during which both the sides made presentations on education and training programmes, as well as on the RDF's contributions to regional and international peace and security.

The visit follows the military cooperation agreement signed this year between Rwanda and Morocco, which established a robust framework for enhancing military ties.

It paved the way for a broader strategic partnership between the two nations.

The agreement was signed on June 18 during a three-day official visit to Morocco by Rwanda's Minister of Defence, Juvenal Marizamunda.
