    ABIDJAN

    The fourth meeting of the Burundi-Rwanda Joint Commission opened in Bujumbura on Monday, with an agenda dominated by ways of increasing cooperation and addressing joint concerns on social, commercial, agricultural and security issues, Radio Burundi reported. In a meeting opened by Burundian Foreign Minister Severin Ntahomvukiye and his Rwandan counterpart Augustin Iyamuremye, the delegations hoped to achieve progress
    in university education exchange and cooperation; social security of migrant workers and naturalised citizens; exchange of agricultural research findings; and joint ventures on rail and road infrastructure. It was Rwanda's hope to reinforce extradition arrangements and the principle of close collaboration in tackling border security, fraudulent activities
    and banditry, the radio reported.
