Rwanda and France put the bad feeling of recent years behind them with the announcement of a resumption in diplomatic relations.

Ties were severed in 2006 when a French judge issued arrest warrants for some senior Rwandan officials over the 1994 genocide.

Rwanda in turn accused French forces of training extremist Hutu militia that carried out the killings.
