During the visit, WAM signed agreements for cooperation and news exchange with several entities, including The New Times newspaper, IGIHE, a multimedia company based in Rwanda, the African News Agency (ANA), and Royal FM, which is owned by Mount Kigali University, according to a recent report by WAM.
The delegation also engaged in discussions with officials from the respective media faculties of the Rwanda Broadcast Agency, Mount Kigali University, and the University of Rwanda. These discussions focused on fostering bilateral media cooperation and relations, facilitating knowledge transfer and cultural exchanges, and organising joint training initiatives.
