A picture of Rwanda's President Paul Kagame driving Morocco's King to the airport has gone viral. The picture was first posted on Kagame's official Facebook page on 31 October.
The Rwandan leader drove King Mohammed VI at the end of his three-day official visit in Rwanda, which ended on 20 October.
The picture of Kagame driving the King in a black Range Rover has been shared hundreds of times on social media, with people claiming the Kagame's gesture was a sign of modesty.
However, some people pointed out that Kagame 's government did not allow Rwanda's last monarch Kigeli V, – who died in exile in the US earlier in October – to return to the throne.
The government maintained the monarch was welcome to go back to Rwanda, but only as a private citizen.
Kagame and King Mohammed discussed bilateral relations and the official visited resulted in the signing of at least 19 agreements, in a move seen as a boost to the cooperation between the two countries.
The agreements focussed on areas including foreign relations, security, finance, investments and private sector development.
The King's visit in Rwanda marked the first tour of the monarch to East Africa since his coronation in 1999.
