Rwanda and DR Congo have affirmed commitment to strengthen bilateral trade ties between the two countries.
This was one of the outcomes from a weekend meeting between François Kanimba, the Minister for Trade, Industry and East African Community Affairs, and Aimé Boji Sangara Bamanyirwe, DR Congo’s Minister for Commerce.
The meeting took place in the eastern DR Congo town of Bukavu, and discussed trade facilitation between the two countries.
The two ministers committed to instruct relevant institutions to refrain from creating tariffs and non-tariff barriers for trade between the two countries, according to a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting.
