Barbados and Rwanda have taken further steps to strengthen their flourishing relationship.This comes as the two countries signed an Air Services Agreement, a Sports Cooperation Agreement, and along with Guyana, launched a transatlantic pharmaceutical initiative to develop and manufacture pharmaceuticals for global public health.Minister of Foreign Affairs Kerrie Symmonds signed the two agreements on Monday at the Kigali Convention Centre in Kigali, Rwanda, with Rwandan Minister of Infrastructure Dr Ernest Nsabimana and Minister of Sports Aurore Mimosa Munyangaju, on the sidelines of the Exploratory Business Mission: Barbados To Rwanda, which is being hosted by Invest Barbados and the Rwanda Development Board.“This is an excellent opportunity for us. It helps us to close a circle between the countries of the Caribbean, Barbados in particular, and those of you here in eastern Africa,” Minister Symmonds said after signing the Air Services Agreement, which will help pave the way to direct flights between the two countries.
