Today, Army General Saïd Chanegriha, the Chief of Staff of the People's National Army of Algeria, along with his delegation, visited the RDF HQs and was welcomed by General MK Mubarakh, the Chief of Defence Staff of the RDF.

He also extended a courtesy call to the Hon Minister of Defence, Mr. Juvenal Marizamunda, before receiving a briefing on RDF's transformation journey and regional security dynamics.

Speaking to the media after the meeting, General Chanegriha emphasised the positive relations between the two armies and expressed their mutual intent to further enhance these ties through the visit.

"It was imperative for us to explore into various aspects that can strengthen our collaboration in addressing upcoming challenges, considering the geopolitical and geostrategic landscape affecting Africa and our neighbouring regions. Our communication has always been continuous, and with this visit, our connection will be even more strengthened," said Gen Chanegriha.

Earlier in the day, the Algerian Army Chief paid homage to the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi at the Kigali Genocide Memorial and the Campaign Against Genocide Museum in Kimihurura.
