President Paul Kagame on Thursday hosted President Faustin-Archange Touadéra of the Central African Republic who is on a working visit to Rwanda.
The two leaders, according to the Rwandan Presidency discussed areas of ongoing bilateral cooperation including collaboration in addressing security challenges in CAR.
Meanwhile, top UN aid official in the country on Monday noted that the humanitarian situation in the Central African Republic remains critical, with more than half the population, 3.4 million people, requiring assistance and protection.
Central Africa is one of the most volatile regions on the continent where poor governance, armed conflicts and transnational crime contribute to the persistent insecurity of states and peoples.
In 2020, Rwanda deployed its force protection troops to the Central African Republic, under the existing bilateral agreement on defense to ensure a peace agreement which was reached between the government and fourteen armed groups.
The Rwanda Defence Force is also one of the largest troop contributor to the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) since 2014.
