“It's no longer just the potential people have been talking about, the potential of our continent, no, we have seen how that potential to an extent, has materialized to actually prove that everything is possible.” President Kagame | Youth Connekt Afrika Summit 2024 #YouthConnekt2024

“Throughout our campaign here, it was always humbling to hear the slogan “Ni wowe”, meaning “It’s you”. But actually, in reality, it is not me alone, ni mwebwe, ni twese — it’s all of us.

Our focus now returns to the future. For the last thirty years, our country has been a good work-in-progress. This new mandate means the beginning of even more hard work.

Why not do even better than we have done? That expectation to keep improving is not a dream, it is realistic. We can do it, and we will do it.

Above all, we will be together, and I thank you once again for renewing the privilege to serve our country.” President Kagame | #Inauguration2024 #Kurahira2024

“There is that level of exposure that we want our young men and women to benefit from. We want that to translate into the growth of capacity here in our country, in as many fields as we can and therefore, our people and others from the region are able to get the services they need from us, from here, things we build here.” President Kagame

[Rwanda Food and Drugs Authority @RwandaFDA]

On the sidelines of today's #AVMA launch with Gavi in France, Rwanda FDA and @ansm signed an MoU to facilitate bilateral cooperation on medicines & vaccines. The signing was witnessed by Minister @YvanButera of @RwandaHealth, and Minister @CZacharopoulou of @francediplo

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“The more ambitious objective we should aim for is to create new vaccines and therapies that target Africa’s disease burden, using the latest technology platforms. Almost all new vaccine and drug discovery is taking place using these platforms, increasingly with artificial intelligence applications. These products should be invented, perfected, and produced in Africa, in an affordable manner, working with our global partners.

This goal should call us to action. Gavi’s model has already saved millions of lives, but there is more work to do. Rwanda strongly supports Gavi’s replenishment process, as well as full funding of AVMA, and we will do our part.

As a continent, recent global shocks have taught us many lessons. Perhaps the most important is to take ownership of our future, and our health. That is the shared commitment which is advanced by today’s gathering.” #ForOurFuture. For full speech: https://t.co/8XecfFxXMt

“As Rwandans, we cannot be complacent. We have unique challenges. We are a small country, with a modest economy. But there are no small people, unless they want and accept to be small. In the last 30 years, Rwandans have proven that a country, a people can rise from the ashes of a genocide. That is why as Rwandans, we cannot do business as usual, we cannot afford to feel comfortable about anything. We don’t have that luxury. Where others work for two hours and go to sleep, we have to work for ten more hours; where others can afford to walk, we have to run to catch up. That is how Rwanda is and we need to act accordingly. We need to do the right thing to reach our shared vision for a bright future.” President Kagame | #Umushyikirano2024

“Never mind those who claim that greener pastures are only available across oceans. You come from a continent of unmatched resource wealth, and you are its greatest resource yet.
If your path takes you elsewhere, may you be blessed with good education, health and fulfilment, and may you eventually use your blessings, to help uplift the homes, that prayed for your good fortune.’’ - First Lady Mrs Jeannette Kagame | International Youth Day celebration
