A powerful moment unfolded in Kigali on October 18–19, 2016, as Rwanda hosted His Majesty King Mohammed VI of Morocco for a landmark state visit. This wasn’t just a ceremonial stop — it marked the beginning of a deeper partnership between two rising African nations with big visions for the continent.
During the visit, Rwanda and Morocco signed several bilateral agreements focused on boosting economic collaboration. From finance and investment to infrastructure and energy, the message was clear: African nations can create stronger futures by working together.
Day two of the visit highlighted Morocco’s strategic role as a gateway for African trade and cooperation. It was more than just talk — it was a call to action for stronger regional connections and for African-led solutions to African challenges.
