Rwanda's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Olivier Nduhungirehe, concluded a working visit to Saudi Arabia on May 1, 2026, during which he delivered a personal letter from President Paul Kagame to Gulf leadership.
The visit underscores Rwanda's active diplomatic engagement with Gulf states, a strategic relationship that has expanded significantly in recent years across trade, investment, and security cooperation tracks.
The substance of the letter was not disclosed, but diplomatic sources indicate the visit covered bilateral cooperation frameworks and regional stability discussions relevant to the broader Great Lakes context.
Nduhungirehe's Gulf visit follows a pattern of high-level Rwandan diplomatic activity in the first half of 2026, as Kigali continues to position itself as a key interlocutor in African and global diplomatic forums.
