Rwanda's President Paul Kagame received Saudi Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Waleed Elkhereiji in Kigali on Tuesday for talks on regional and international developments.
Elkhereiji conveyed the greetings of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, along with their wishes for continued progress and prosperity for the government and people of Rwanda. Kagame, for his part, wished the Kingdom, its leadership and its people further development and prosperity.
The meeting reviewed bilateral cooperation relations and explored ways to strengthen and expand them across various fields.
Elkhereiji had arrived in Rwanda on an official visit earlier on Tuesday.
He met with Rwanda’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Usta Kaitesi. They discussed ways to boost cooperation between their countries in various fields and addressed issues of common interest.
Elkhereiji later visited the King Faisal Hospital in Kigali to review work progress at the facility.
King Faisal Hospital is the largest referral hospital in Rwanda, having received support exceeding SAR109 million from the Saudi Fund for Development since its establishment through its rehabilitation and expansion.
The hospital provides a wide range of specialized medical services, including disease diagnosis and specialized treatment. It has performed more than 300 complex cardiac catheterization procedures and over 32 kidney transplant operations - the first of their kind Rwanda.
