On 28 November 2025, The Defence Attachés (DAs) accredited to Rwanda visited the Rwanda Defence Force Command and Staff College, where they were welcomed by the Commandant, Brig Gen Andrew Nyamvumba, and faculty staff. The Commandant briefed them on the College’s mission to develop officers with the highest intellectual and professional standards in command and control, equipping them to respond effectively to the demands of today’s complex security environment.

He emphasised that the College trains both Rwandan and international officers from across Africa and beyond. “One of the strengths of this institution, that relates to your visit today, is the diversity of our student body. We are privileged to host allied officers who bring with them a wealth of experience, culture, and perspective. Their presence enriches the learning environment, strengthens interoperability, and builds the personal bonds that underpin future military diplomatic cooperation.” he said.

Speaking on behalf of the DAs, Col Cyril Chevauchet, Defence Attaché of France to Rwanda, expressed his appreciation to the RDF for the opportunity to visit the RDF Command and Staff College, and he commended the warm hospitality extended to the delegation.
