RDF HOSTS THE 7th MEETING OF THE RWANDA-RUSSIA JOINT COMMISSION ON MILITARY TECHNICAL COOPERATION
The Rwanda Defence Force is hosting the 7th session of the Rwanda - Russia Joint Intergovernmental Commission on Military Technical Cooperation. The three-day meeting is taking place from 20 to 22 May 2026.
Held annually, the Commission serves as a fitting platform to review the status of the bilateral defence cooperation between Rwanda and the Russian Federation, and to identify new areas for partnership.
The session is co-chaired by Brig Gen Patrick Karuretwa, Director General International Military Cooperation in the Ministry of Defence, and Mr Anatoly Punchuk, Deputy Director of the Russian Federal Service for Military and Technical Cooperation.
On the margins of the session, the visiting delegation paid courtesy calls on the Minister of Defence, Hon. Juvénal Marizamunda, and the RDF Chief of Defence Staff, Gen MK Mubarakh, to exchange views on bilateral partnership priorities.
