The visit is part of General Doumbouya’s three-day official trip to Rwanda, which began on May 1, 2025, and aims to strengthen the friendship between the two countries.

Upon his arrival in Rwanda, General Doumbouya was warmly welcomed by the Guinean community during a ceremony held in Kigali. Attendees displayed messages of support on banners and T-shirts, showing appreciation for his leadership and commitment to his country.

General Doumbouya last visited Rwanda in August 2024 for the inauguration ceremony of President Kagame following his re-election. Earlier, in January 2024, he had also traveled to Kigali on a visit focused on deepening bilateral ties.

Rwanda and Guinea currently maintain a partnership agreement aimed at promoting cooperation in a range of sectors, including technology, agriculture, investment, services, tourism, energy, and trade.
