The Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Patrick Nyamvumba received this morning at the RDF headquarters, the Belgian Armed Forces Chief of Defence (CHOD), General Marc Campernol and his delegation.
General Campernol together with the Belgian Land Component Commander, Lt Gen Marc Thys and the Special Force Commander, Col Vincent Descheemaeker were in Rwanda as part of the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Genocide against the Tutsi. Discussions between the two Defence Chiefs centered on defence and military cooperation as they looked on ways to revive and reinforce it.
