Rwanda and Seychelles have maintained diplomatic relations since 2006. Over the years, the two nations have deepened their cooperation across various sectors. An initial agreement was signed to promote collaboration in key areas such as tourism, education, agriculture, investment, and communication. In June 2023, the partnership was further strengthened with a new agreement focused on combating terrorism, enhancing maritime security, sharing intelligence, and providing military training. Most recently, in March 2025, correctional authorities from both countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at improving the quality and delivery of correctional services. The MoU on prisons and correctional services was signed by Seychelles’ Commissioner of Prison Service, CP Janet Georges, and Rwanda Correctional Service Commissioner General, CG Evariste Murenzi, at the Rwanda Correctional Service Headquarters.
