    Rwanda and Congo Brazzaville are prospecting to boost fishing produce and increase fisheries imports and exports to meet local demand in the respective countries.

    Rwandan Agriculture Minister Agnes Kalibata received her Congolese counterpart Mr. Hellot Matson Mampouya in charge of Fisheries and Aquaculture in Congo Brazzaville with whom both ministers signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen cooperation within the fishing industry between Congo and Rwanda.

    The MoU allows Rwanda to share its experiences in cage and tank fisheries while also helping to improve imports and exports for both nations.  “Rwanda is growing rapidly in the area of fresh water fish but as a land locked country does not have access to the types of salt-water fish that Congo Brazzaville has” a statement from the meeting reads.

    Both government officials assured the MoU is making the deal mutually beneficial, as the two countries can supply each other what the other lacks.

    The Congolese minister arrived in Rwanda few days after President Denis Sassou-Nguesso visited Rwanda and agreed with his Rwandan counterpart President Paul Kagame to strengthen ties between the two nations.
