The meeting took place at the Chadian Presidential Palace in N'Djamena. On the first day of the visit, Minister Nduhungirehe was received by his Chadian counterpart, Dr. Abdoulaye Sabre Fadoul. The two officials held discussions on areas of mutual interest. President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno assumed office following the death of his father, Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno, in April 2021. Rwanda and Chad enjoy long-standing diplomatic relations. In March 2022, President Déby visited Kigali, where he expressed gratitude to President Kagame for Rwanda’s continued solidarity during challenging periods, particularly in the face of Boko Haram attacks and the aftermath of his father’s death. At the time, President Déby said Chad was drawing inspiration from Rwanda’s governance and post-conflict recovery experience, praising its transformation over the past 31 years as a model for development across the continent. During the 2022 visit, Rwanda and Chad signed cooperation agreements aimed at promoting trade and investment between the two countries.
