Dominica and the African state of Rwanda have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing visa-free travel between them.
The move is expected to make travel easier and strengthen bilateral relations while fostering opportunities for tourism, business, and cultural exchanges.
Citizens of Rwanda will now be able to enter Dominica without applying for a visa. The same goes for citizens of Dominica who want to travel to Rwanda.
The agreement was signed on Tuesday, September 24 in New York on the sidelines of the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr. Vince Henderson signed on behalf of Dominica, while Olivier Nduhunggirehe, Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, signed for his country.
Rwanda is a land-locked country located in east-central Africa. It is often referred to as le pays des mille collines (French for “land of a thousand hills”).
In 2024, its estimated population stood at just over 13 million people.
Its national language is Kinyarwanda, which is spoken by almost the entire population. It is one of the country’s official languages alongside French, English, and Swahili.
Papa God what is there in Kigali for Dominicans to go for or to do? Only Chinese motorcycles making noise and the remnants of the Rwanda genocide of 1994.
DNO Print my comments please. I take responsibility for them. even when I mentioned people’s names print it. please.
There are billionaires and other crooked high profiles who were arrested after years of looking successful. The stories when they were first brought to light were not taken seriously at first.
These stories generally are broken by small no name radio stations as well as small town papers and picked up by bigger media sources.
Looking at all what is going on the diplomatic signings, and all the others we are thinking they are normal why we are not in these circles.
I know what I am saying I met Vince to prove this in Dominica and he is still not believing it.
Donavan Fabien is one as well his engagements with the government of Dominica there are concerns as well as the individuals who went around a few years ago he was one as the washing machine guys.
Print my comments DNO. My comments are looking way out there.but true..
DLP DONE.

Vince
how many people from Rwanda u are expecting to visit da with this free visa entry, 1/2 a million yearly and how many of us are u expecting to travel to Rwanda because of this visa free entry
u all are just signing visa free entry with the wrong countries which hardly any Dominicans will visit.
we all know the majority of Dominicans living abroad are in the
1- usa
2- england
3 – Canada
so instead of getting free visa entry to countries which we may never visit , get back visa free entry to
1- canada
2- england
Rwanda have made great strides after the civil war that devastated the country. However, the president is a dictator. A presidential election.was held there recently wand the present president won 99% of the votes. Unheard of anywhere! This is a bird of a feather relationship.
Rwanda. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/egJPa39zfQk.
What do you mean unheard of anywhere? Last snap election orchestrated by your Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, who pretty much won 98%.
“Hey, let’s go to Rwanda!” – said nobody ever.

Stay here in Dominica with your closed mindedness. Only here are people with that kind of immature mentality praised.
It’s ridiculous though the so called motherland requires you to have a visa for most of the African countries, when the larger economy states allow you visa free access. Even Africans in their own country some require a visa…. something isn’t right, where’s the togetherness
For an African to travel another African country in most cases a visitor’s visa is required. Most times it is easier to brush a crocodile teeth than to obtain a visa.
how equiped are our hospitals no offense the type of diseases EBOLA etc. how are we going to deal with the outbreaks and people travelling?
how are we going to deal with the threat that these people face terrorism ISiL, Extremists, other terroristic organizations that these governments are fighting and cannot overcome. There are countless issues that they are facing – migration issues that first world countries are facing. Resettle them, provide housing and all types of social services for them is Dominica prepared for this.
Are we prepared to screen for terrorists or Extremists when entering our country. How well can we do this when first world countries and countries with militaries are themselves facing this threat.
Who from this country that DLP is trying to shield or the unscrupulous people with our passports that they are trying to hide. Not the poor people with money in these countries
ai asked for help with this, this is why I .able to write this. I vowed to be truthful and honest as honest as I can and will continue to be.
Vince I hole your days are numbered and Alllick will not be able to save you.
I know Dominica CANNOT help or investigate what you all are engaged in.. I know this is a party and a government that is defunct. I have in effect proven what these guys are engaged and how dangerous they are in their doings.
Hope to see VINCE in legal troubles some time soon. Too Much Too Much.
All these people in real time ANOU Parlay it was happening. I sought assistance. Do you know the type of activity that the nations engaged in during the. cold war?
Third world countries are beginning to get involved in this. Dominica is involved on foreign soil threatening countries security.
No Dominicans should be able to do this with me ANYWHERE and I am proving that it is being done.
Hopefully after engaging in the property where the federal judge knows what is going on you all brought you selves to where you are today.
I am doing everything I can with all types of assistance can get to ensure the arrest and prosecution of ALL Dominican politicians who are engaging in the covert terroristic activity on foreign soil. You all are doing in my school .
My school is a school a government school where I.have been reporting FRAUD since 2019.
Vince has been engaging since 2020 on the United Methodist Church Premises and continued on the campus of University of Washington Seattle . I went home to prove this that they are engaging in such activities and solidified with the assistance of others that they are engaging and he himself is engaging in terroristic activity. I left and went one and they are still engaging in that type of activity.
The proof his office does not serve the public until 11 am daily.
Are you okay? Just checking.
you right get your own name. stop hiding behind this name of someone you will and can never be
I am right on point and the results will show.
when this time comes hope you will comment you were right.
The big billionaire who ended up behind bars it took years of reporting and years for the to be caught. There have always been people in disbelief
labor power….seems to have his head in the sand….minister of stupidity like his PM
One lost one gained.That is why we cannot have the blue do nothing’s represent Dominica.Waiting for a reply from the FAKE Labour power.

I wonder how many years it would take you to locate Rwanda on a map. 40, 50 60 years?
Too bad. What is one lost one gained again. Refresh our memory.
Dominica Labor Party had everybody’s mouth passing in whatever it is.
I can mention all the names of the current government and take full responsibility for what I am saying.
I will say it. you all were FOOLED. The person who left Salop and the person who left “mon dieu” remember I do not beg. I know what I am doing and will not deviate from what I am doing. I am a student and a lot has happened since 2019 where Dominicans are involved.
I am trying to remain honest and truthful at all times.
Remember “Melissa come home” .
Labor Party is over. Dark days are upon you all. 99 days for the money launderers, fraudsters,
for the crime bosses, for the human rights abusers , CBI MONEY GRABBERS, the wasted talent lawyers diplomatic cover is not enough when one is bold and brazen about crime.
wait a minute the person talking the truth about you so now u vex or something man?
Oh yes, Dominicans have just been waiting for this deal so that we can all fly to Rwanda to find work!
Sorry to burst your little bubble there, I’m not a big Vince fan but it’s not about ‘to find work’. I see it more about seeking relations with all the little countries they broke our Continent into, during the 1st world war that ended in 1885 with the ‘scramble for Africa’ when Europe partitioned it and drew little boundaries for each other. However, our education steer us in the direction of not seeking relations with dem deh people. We need to remove those lines in many ways.
Sorry to disappoint you, but this kind of thinking is beyond the blue bugs who post here. They cannot see beyond the rhetoric that their masters feed them.
