Border security with Tanzania discussed

    NAIROBI

    A delegation from Tanzania met local Rwandan officials on Saturday in Rwanda’s Kibungo prefecture to discuss security along the common border. The Rwanda News Agency (RNA) said the delegates also discussed how to strengthen cooperation between the two countries. “Security is the concern of Rwanda and Tanzania, no infiltrator should come from one country to destabilise the other,” RNA quoted a Kibungo military official as saying. Although Tanzania had received a large number of former Rwandan soldiers and the Interahamwe militia, there were no frequent attacks in the neighbouring prefectures of Rwanda “due to close cooperation between the two countries”, he said.
