In a message shared on social media platform X, President Kagame expressed his satisfaction with Doumbouya’s victory, referring to him as a “brother” and reaffirming Rwanda’s commitment to strengthening the existing friendly relations between the two countries.

“I congratulate my brother, President Mamadi Doumbouya, on his election as President of the Republic of Guinea. I look forward to further strengthening our strong bilateral relations and working closely together to advance our shared goals and the prosperity of our people,” President Kagame said.

The message highlights the willingness of both Rwanda and Guinea to deepen cooperation in various sectors, including politics, economic development, and regional stability, with the aim of promoting peace and sustainable development.

Mamadi Doumbouya was recently confirmed as Guinea’s president after the Supreme Court validated the results of the December 28, 2025 presidential election, in which he secured more than 86 percent of the vote. His election has been widely welcomed by several African leaders, who have expressed confidence in his ability to promote stability, good governance, and development in Guinea.

President Kagame’s congratulatory message underscores the growing diplomatic ties between Kigali and Conakry and reflects Rwanda’s continued support for democratic transitions and regional cooperation across the African continent.
