A delegation from Joaan Bin Jassim Academy for Defence Studies in Qatar is in Rwanda for a week-long study tour. The study tour started on May 19 and is expected to end on May 26. On Tuesday, May 24, the delegation that is composed of students and staff was received by Army Chief of Staff, Lt Gen Mubarakh Muganga at RDF Headquarters. The student officers from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Pakistan, Somalia, Türkiye, Iraq, Oman, and Kuwait are currently pursuing the Joint Command and Staff Course at Joaan Bin Jassim Academy for Defence Studies. During their visit to RDF Headquarters, they received a briefing on the RDF transformation journey. Earlier on, they visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial and Campaign against Genocide Museum. The delegation will also visit Zigama CSS, Military Medical Insurance, Rwanda Military Hospital, RDF Command and Staff College, and a few other Government and private institutions. In July last year, a delegation from the RDF led by Brig General Patrick Karuretwa, attended the graduation ceremony of the Joint Command and Staff Course at Joaan bin Jassim Academy for Defence Studies in Al-Khor, Qatar. Two RDF senior officers were among the graduates. The ceremony is a new step in the materialization of military cooperation between the State of Qatar and the Republic of Rwanda.
