KIGALI (AFP) — Rwanda said Monday it was restoring relations with Germany after a diplomatic spat between the two countries over Berlin's arrest of a top Rwandan official for complicity in the 1994 genocide.

A foreign ministry statement said the two countries had "agreed to work together to iron out the matters disagreed upon" and would reappoint ambassadors to their respective capitals.

She was charged with "complicity in murder in relation to terrorism".
