COOPERATION BACKGROUND

The establishment of the Rwanda Embassy in Bujumbura in 1962 marked a milestone of the historical relations between two sister countries. The Republic of Rwanda and the Republic of Burundi have historically enjoyed brotherly ties that served as a landmark to build on solid relations based on mutual respect and shared interests.

Rwanda and Burundiestablished the Joint Permanent Commission (JPC), which covers cooperation in politics, justice, social affairs, trade, and investment (transport, livestock, and agriculture). Companies of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) from Rwanda showcased their products in Bujumbura to develop exports. Rwandan companies exported to Burundi manufactured products and food commodities. Indicative trade statistics showed the increase of Rwanda's export to Burundi and vice-versa, and there is still considerable scope for both countries to engage in mutual exports.
