President Jakaya Kikwete has sent his special assistant, Prof Mark Mwandosya, to Kigali to learn on the social and economic services delivery.
State House said Prof Mwandosya, who is the minister of State in the President’s Office, Special Duties, left the country on Saturday, and will be in Rwanda for a week-long official visit ‘to learn on how Rwanda plans and implements social and economic services’.
Even though both countries have been at loggerheads over President Kikwete’s advice last May that Rwanda should initiate talks with FDLR rebels as part of efforts to end the DR Congo crisis and which angered Rwanda, both nations are currently willing to address the situation and continue to positively live as EAC state members.
Rwanda considers the FDLR as a terrorist group that in 1994have killed over one million ofg the innocent Tutsi.
Both Presidents Kikwete and Paul Kagame held talks in Kampala last August over the matter and the situation has improved since then.
