The deal was signed in New York on September 22, 2025, by Rwanda's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Amb. Olivier Nduhungirehe, and Hungary's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Péter Szijjártó.
The agreement follows Minister Nduhungirehe's visit to Hungary in May 2025, alongside Rwanda's Minister of Sports, Nelly Mukazayire. During that trip, the delegation toured the famed Hungaroring Formula 1 circuit, which has hosted races since 1986, and also took part in the launch of the Tour de Hongrie, one of Europe's major cycling races.
Beyond sports, both governments reaffirmed their commitment to deepen cooperation in diplomacy, water resource management, education, and investment.
This latest accord signals Rwanda's growing interest in expanding international partnerships in sport, while Hungary gains a new African ally in advancing global sporting exchanges.
