Both countries were last year identified as potential regional vaccine manufacturing hubs in Africa.

The sustainable end to end vaccine supply solutions on the African continent was largely exposed by the inequality of Covid-19 vaccines.

Meanwhile, Rwanda and Senegal boast of a long-standing bilateral relationship.

In the context of cooperation, several agreements have been signed at various levels including political, economic and cultural.
