Qatar’s Internal Security Force, known as Lekhwiya, has completed three specialized training programs for members of the Rwandan National Police, the agencies announced. The courses were conducted under the oversight of the Internal Security Force Training Institute and covered VIP protection, riot control, and combat operations in populated areas.

The training sessions were attended by the Deputy Inspector-General of the Rwanda Police, highlighting the significance of the cooperation between the two countries. These programs are part of ongoing security collaboration efforts designed to strengthen Rwanda’s law enforcement capabilities and improve the operational readiness of its police force in managing various security challenges.

Officials from both Qatar and Rwanda described the initiative as a way to share expertise and enhance mutual security frameworks. The training aims to equip Rwandan police personnel with advanced tactical skills and techniques, particularly in handling high-risk situations such as civil unrest and organized violence.

No additional details were disclosed about the duration of the courses or future plans for continued joint training activities. The partnership reflects broader efforts by Qatar to support regional and international security through capacity-building programs.
