The presidents of both nations signed a series of agreements in Kinshasa on security and also infrastructure, with plans for a railway to connect the nation’s major cities and boost trade.
No cost and deadline were made public for the projects, but a joint commission of experts who will oversee its progress was announced.
Yesterday’s visit to Kinshasa was the first made by Burundi’s President Évariste Ndayishimiye since he took power a year ago, following the sudden death of his predecessor Pierre Nkurunziza.
