Amb Eduardo Filomeno Leiro Octávio, Angola's ambassador to Rwanda, who accompanied the delegation, said that these agreements will be signed during a joint commission meeting that will happen in Kigali very soon.
"Rwanda and Angola are both committed to strengthening ties in all areas, therefore it is important for both of our countries to share information, in order to emphasize stronger ties in the justice sector,” he said
Johnston Busingye said: "Rwanda remains open to cooperate with Angola in terms of information exchange and cooperation in all areas.”
He also added that the journey to fight corruption in both countries remains the same, and it should be a political choice and that the fight against corruption should be taught to younger generations, so they grow up with the anti-corruption culture values.
