Nduhungirehe responded thanking Makamba for his call \u201cand for your warm wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cTanzania and Rwanda are indeed friendly countries, and I highly value our relations and economic ties. I pledged to work with you to strengthen those relations, as well as our East African Community (EAC).\u201d<\/p>\n

In March, Rwanda\u2019s outgoing Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Vincent Biruta, and Makamba committed to boosting the two countries’ bilateral ties in various sectors including trade, energy and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Makamba who was then in Rwanda for a four-day working visit, said Tanzania would \u201ccontinue to make it easier for Rwanda to use the port of Dar es Salam for its international trade.\u201d<\/p>\n

Makamba said Tanzania would improve the construction of its road network, especially the 92 kilometres of highway from Rusahunga to Rusumo, to facilitate the transport of goods between the two countries.<\/p>\n
