RABAT, July 17 (Xinhua) -- Rwanda has decided to open its embassy in Morocco, said the Moroccan official news Agency MAP on Wednesday.
The Rwandan President Paul Kagame appointed Sheikh Saleh Habimana as Rwanda's new ambassador to Rabat, it added.
The Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita paid on July 5 a visit to Rwanda, during which he handed a message from King Mohammed VI to the Kagame.
Relations between the two countries witnessed a turning point after Kagame's visit to Morocco in June 2016 and the visit of Mohammed VI to Rwanda in October of the same year.
Rabat and Kigali signed 23 bilateral agreements of cooperation during the visits.
Last March, a series of bilateral agreements covering several areas were signed between Rabat and Kigali as part of the first session of the Joint Committee.
