While addressing regional matters, the situation in the Middle East and Gaza was a central topic during their meeting. Rwanda has historically been an ally of Israel, making it an important partner in the region's dynamics.

During the visit, Jordan and Rwanda signed several agreements covering various sectors, including healthcare, trade, and agriculture. Additionally, an agreement was reached to promote fiscal transparency and prevent double taxation, further solidifying the economic relations between the two nations.
