The Central African President was greeted in the village of Urugwiro by a military parade, where he reviewed the Rwandan troops, before joining President Paul Kagame in his office, for a private interview.
The aim of the visit is to strengthen the ties that already exist between the two countries, particularly in the area of security and mining cooperation.
In these two areas, several agreements have already been signed, and according to the spokesperson for the Rwandan presidency, other agreements will be announced at the end of today's meeting.
The field of transport will be developed as a Kigali Bangui airline was inaugurated this year.
Finally, on the economic front, the two heads of state will announce increased cooperation between the two countries, as a reminder in April a delegation of fifty Rwandan investors visited the Central African capital.
For Faustin Archange Touadéra, the Rwandan visit will continue this afternoon with a visit to the historical museum of the fight against the Genocide, before being received at Paul Kagame's table for a welcome dinner.
President Kagame and President Touadéra will now be addressing members of the press and witness the signing of several agreements.
