Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Denmark\u2019s Minister of Immigration affairs, Kaare Dybvad Bek, has announced that soon his country will open up an office in Kigali that will be processing illegal asylum seekers who will be removed from Denmark and transferred to Rwanda.<\/p>\n

A statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on August 18, and signed by Bek indicated that; \u201cDenmark and Rwanda share a wish to help more refugees better than today and to fight irregular and life-threatening migration, including across the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

\u201d Bek added that, \u201cOur shared goal is to reform the current, flawed asylum system and ensure a dignified and sustainable future for refugees and migrants.<\/p>\n

I am therefore pleased that we will soon be able to open an office in Rwanda.<\/p>\n

\u201d The office will also enable Denmark to expand cooperation with Rwanda in areas of mutual interest, including climate, good governance as well as asylum, and migration.<\/p>\n

It is also expected to strengthen bilateral relations and will work in line with the two cooperation agreements reached between the two countries last year.<\/p>\n

One of the agreements is about asylum and migration issues and the other on political dialogue and cooperation, reads the statement.<\/p>\n

A statement issued by Rwanda\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs last year, after the signing of the MoUs on Cooperation regarding Asylum and Migration Issues, aims to strengthen bilateral dialogue on new and sustainable solutions to current migration and refugee challenges.<\/p>\n

Denmark already provides support to the Emergency Transit Mechanism in Gashora.<\/p>\n

Receiving asylum seekers from Denmark in Rwanda and processing asylum applications to Denmark is not part of this MoU.<\/p>\n

Rwanda and Denmark are parties to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol framework and are committed to the protection of refugees and asylum seekers.<\/p>\n

In a related development, Flemming M\u00f8ller Mortensen, Danish Minister for Development, stated that Rwanda is a country that works actively to both promote its socio-economic development and lift Africa’s challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that works to create better conditions in Africa, so that the inequality between the people living in Africa and in Europe becomes smaller.<\/p>\n

\u201d Mortensen described Rwanda as a country that has set ambitious development goals, among other things, for the green transition, equality and the fight against corruption, and has assumed a major role as a host society for refugees and displaced persons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are important agendas that the government wants to support.<\/p>\n

With the new office, Denmark will work to strengthen the already close partnership with Rwanda, including the climate area, and explore new possible areas of cooperation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
