Bangladesh-Rwanda relations



Bangladesh	Rwanda

Bangladesh–Rwanda relations refer to the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Rwanda. Both the countries are members of Non-Aligned Movement, Group of 77 and Commonwealth of Nations. Neither country has a resident ambassador.

History

[edit]

In 1994, Bangladesh provided roughly 900 UN peacekeepers, including soldiers and medical personnel, to Rwanda to aid in keeping the peace during the Rwandan genocide,^[1] one of more than 40 countries to do so.

In 2012, there was a delegation sent from Bangladesh to Rwanda. At that time, Rwanda sought investment from Bangladeshi businessmen.^[2]

Rwanda is situated at a strategic location in Central Africa which would ensure easier access for Bangladeshi businesses to Central Africa.^[3]

Bangladeshi ready-made garments, ceramics and pharmaceutical products have been identified as having huge demand in Rwanda.^[4]

Bangladesh's experiences in the areas of mechanized agriculture, food processing, textile, garments, ceramics and shipbuilding industries have also been sought to replicate them in Rwanda.^[5]

In 2015, Rwanda expressed hopes to strengthen ties to Bangladesh, including exchanging "trade and investment, textile and jute industry development and exchange of experience, training, and capacity development in international peacekeeping."^[6] In response, Bangladesh promised to arrange a visit to Rwanda in the first quarter of 2015 as part of an ongoing effort to strengthen ties between the two nations.^[7]
