Tanzania President Dr. John Pombe
Joseph Magufuli will tomorrow, April 6,
visit Rwanda-his maiden regional visit.
KT Press has established that President
Magufuli, who has made global headlines
for his rapid leadership changes in the
East African nation, will be in Rwanda for
a two-day working visit.
The visit will begin with his official
opening of Rusumo one stop border post
connecting the two countries, before
holding a joint press conference with
President Paul Kagame.
On his 2nd day, Magufuli will join
Rwandans for the 22nd commemoration
of the genocide against Tutsi on
Thursday, April 7.
On the day when Rwandans mourn over 1
million Tutsi who perished during the
genocide, Presidents Magufuli and
Kagame along with the First Ladies, will
lay a wreath and lighting the memorial
flame.
Later on, they will join Rwandans in a
‘Walk To Remember’, before attending a
night vigil at Amahoro National Stadium in
the capital Kigali.
What does Magufuli’s presence mean to
Rwanda?
Tanzania is one of Rwanda major trade
partners and a close ally too. The port of
Dar-es-Salaam is crucial for Rwanda’s
trade routes, accounting for roughly 70%
of all Rwandan international maritime
trade. A healthy relationship must exist to
maintain this economic partnership.
For example, the port handles 60% of
Rwanda’s exports and imports, making it
a key port in terms of handling Rwandan
cargo.
Again, Rwanda regards Tanzania’s central
corridor, which combines road and
railway network, as an essential trade and
transport route linking it with
neighbouring Burundi, Uganda and the
eastern part of Democratic Republic of
Congo. This is a great assets for the two
countries.
Socially, many Rwandans, particularly
those where were boar there and others
lived there, have for so many years
regarded Tanzania as their second home.
President Kagame has expressed his
admiration for the new Tanzania
President, especially his immediate
stance on corruption.
On Novemer 5 last year, Kagame flew to
Tanzania’s capital Dar-Es-Saram to attend
the swearing in ceremony of President
Magufuli.
In just six months, President Magufuli has
been reluctant to travel both abroad and
inside Tanzania, since he was sworn in
as the President.
He has so far been in Dar-es-Salaam
Statehouse and only traveled to Arusha,
Mwanza, Morogoro and Geita regions.
He has been assigning his Prime Minister
Majaliwa Kasim to travel to other parts of
the country in a move to solve various
political and socio-economic problems.
His courtesy visit to Kigali sets a strong
and positive precedence and also rings a
resounding tone of cultivating a stronger
bilateral relationship.
