Rwanda military boss meets Kibochi for regional security talks

The Rwanda Chief of Defence (CDF) General Jean Kazura  has paid a courtesy call to Kenyan counterpart General Robert Kibochi.

In respect to military traditions, Gen Kazura was accorded full military honours which included inspecting a Guard of Honour and later meeting with the CDF.

“The discussions were centred on matters of mutual interest between the two militaries, especially on co-operation and partnership in security matters,” the Department of Defence said.

Gen Kazura later held bilateral talks with the Cabinet Secretary for Defence Eugene Wamalwa. This comes in the wake of rising tension between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) over Kigali’s alleged support for the M23, a notorious rebel group.
