    Rwanda and Jordan sign number of deals during king’s visit

    Rwanda and Jordan have signed many agreements to make their relationship stronger.

    Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame and Jordan’s King Abdullah II Ibn Al-Hussein signed agreements during King Abdullah’s three-day visit to Kigali. The visit started on Sunday.

    The agreements include working together on health, medicine, trade, and farming.

    The two countries made a tax agreement to stop people from being taxed twice and to prevent them from avoiding paying taxes, said Jordan’s palace in a statement.

    The two countries will also strengthen their connections in politics, defense, and fighting against terrorism.

    The leaders talked about the war in Gaza too.

    “The king said thank you to Rwanda for helping out in Gaza by sending a plane with aid”, reported Jordan’s palace.

    The two countries have become closer to each other in recent years. They made some deals last February and agreed to let each other’s citizens visit without needing a visa last August.
