On the margins of the 126th Session of the UN Tourism Executive Council in Toledo, Spain, RDB Chief Tourism Officer Irène Murerwa met with UN Tourism Secretary-General Shaikha Al Nowais for discussions on expanding collaboration and advancing shared priorities for tourism development, investment, and innovation.
“When we started this journey, we committed ourselves to be self-reliant, as individuals and as a country, so that our existence would not depend on luck, or on the goodwill of others who might choose to help us today and withdraw tomorrow, with harmful consequences, as you all know.
Self-reliance, therefore, is our main priority, it is our objective, and it is a responsibility that belongs to all of us, one that everyone of us must embrace and work towards.” President Kagame | #Umushyikirano2026

“I do not know of any nation with citizens better than ours.
I say this because of where we have come from: divisionist politics, genocide. And yet we have reached a point where our people stand together, even as the world keeps trying to take them back to that history.
The first place where outsiders who seek to destroy us have failed is with our citizens. They tried to divide Rwandans again, to create conflict among them, but our people resisted—and those efforts failed.” Chairman Kagame | 17th RPF Congress
“You should be thinking independently, individually, but most importantly, act collectively. That is when it becomes meaningful and yields results. Each one of us here has personal concerns and our own lives, but our gathering reminds us that there is so much we share. So it is in our actions that we must be united.
This does not stop anyone from thinking for themselves, or handling their personal matters as they wish. This is where two things meet, what concerns us individually and what concerns all of us collectively, that we understand we must serve Rwandans and everyone who lives in Rwanda.” Chairman Kagame | 17th RPF Congress
This is perhaps the main reason behind the longevity of @rpfinkotanyi.
Its ability to go from a liberation movement which stopped a genocide, and rebuilt the social fabric of our nation, while establishing the foundation for socio-economic progress.
May our youth never take for granted this clear political philosophy, rooted in the importance of national unity and preservation of human dignity.

“In Rwanda, we survived, 31 years ago, our own tragedies, and we now have to survive many other things that come in from outside. But history has also taught us that even when there is darkness, whether in Rwanda, or in Africa, or in the whole world, some of these small places can glow and show some light.
Our Rwanda, in that darkness, glows.
We need to make sure we survive our own struggles and develop, and move where we want to be and where others are that have made it well before us.
Changing this little place of ours is within our means to do so as we keep surviving the blows from the bigger guys.” President Kagame | Presidential Advisory Council (PAC) Meeting.
During the UCI World Championships, air pollution in Kigali dropped by up to 45% thanks to reduced traffic. This proves how sustainable choices such as cycling, walking, public transport & proper car maintenance can help us breathe #CleanerAir

President Kagame at the Global Gateway Forum 2025:
"We are here to discuss partnerships; however, the terms seem to mean different things to people.
For some, it's about giving instructions; for others, it means complying.
Africa's experience shows that this approach doesn't deliver the transformation we need."
‘’When we speak about Early Childhood Development, we speak about life itself. These early years form the foundation of who a person becomes their confidence, their compassion, their creativity. That is why Imbuto Foundation continues to make #ECD a cornerstone of our mission: because when a child is cared for early, the adult they become carries that care into everything they do.’’ – @ElodieShami , Director General Imbuto Foundation | Inauguration of ECD & F Model Centre Masaka
