The Rwanda National Police and the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at strengthening cooperation in combating transnational crime and enhancing the exchange of information, expertise and experience.
The agreement was signed in Seoul on Thursday, August 20, 2026, by Rwanda’s Inspector General of Police, CG Felix Namuhoranye, and Korean National Police Agency Commissioner General Yoo Jae-Sung.
Rwanda’s Ambassador to South Korea, Nkubito Manzi Bakuramutsa, also attended the signing ceremony.
The agreement establishes a framework for the two police institutions to cooperate in tackling crimes that cross national borders, particularly those linked to organised criminal networks.
Under the partnership, the two sides will strengthen information sharing and exchange knowledge and experience to improve their ability to prevent and combat crime.
The agreement also provides for police training, educational programmes and personnel exchanges aimed at strengthening the professional and operational capacity of officers from both countries.
The cooperation is expected to enhance collaboration in areas requiring international law enforcement coordination, including the prevention, investigation and prosecution of transnational crimes.
The partnership will also support closer coordination in tracking criminal activities and sharing relevant information between the two police institutions.
The agreement comes as Rwanda and South Korea continue to strengthen bilateral relations across various sectors, with security cooperation becoming an additional area of collaboration.
The two police institutions expect the partnership to contribute to stronger law enforcement capacity, improved information sharing and enhanced security for citizens of both countries.
