On the 22nd (local time), Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister
Prévot announced Belgium and Rwanda have agreed to restore diplomatic relations
and signed a joint statement with Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe.
The statement says the two countries will reopen embassies; Rwanda had severed
ties on March 17, 2025 over disputes related to the eastern DRC conflict, after
which Belgium expelled Rwandan diplomats and terminated bilateral government
cooperation agreements.
