The General arrived at Kigali International Airport in the company of Justice and Constitution Affairs Minister Norbert Mao and Maj Gen Jim Muhwezi, the Minister of Security.

Other members of the General’s delegation are Veteran Journalist Andrew Mwenda, Kitgum Woman MP Lillian Aber, his cousin Alexander Mukonzi Akandwanaho, businessman Geoffrey Kalugira, Eng. Joel Aita and Counsel Elison Karuhanga among others.

Gen Kainerugaba and his team were received by the Commander of the Rwandan Republican Guard Maj Gen Willy Rwagasana and the Rwanda Defence Forces Spokesman Brig Gen Ronald Rwivanga.

On Monday, President Kagame will host the Ugandan General and his delegation for a dinner to mark his 49th birthday.

Despite this being about General MK’s birthday, more high-level talks to further improve the relations between Uganda and Rwanda are expected to take place.

Last year, Gen Kainerugaba visited Rwanda three times with the initial visit to Kigali leading to the reopening of the Gatuna border which had been closed for three years.

The Rwandan leader also flew to Kampala and attended a State Dinner on Gen MK’s 48th birthday.

President Kagame, who fought in the Uganda bush war of 1981-86, held several discussions with his Ugandan counterpart.

During the Rukundo Egumeho Thanksgiving Concert held on Wednesday, April 19 in Kabale, Gen Kainerugaba said that since the reopening of the Gatuna border, trade between Uganda and Rwanda has tremendously improved, reaching an all-time high of  $20m in business transactions per month.

Before the closure, Gen MK said the annual trade was $200 million, which translated to $17m per month.

During the period the border was closed the figure stood at $60,000, according to records from the Bank of Uganda.
