Ce mémorial en hommage aux victimes du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi au Rwanda est un lieu vivant. Il cultive la mémoire et projette vers l'avenir la relation entre le Rwanda et la France.

À nous de transmettre avec rigueur, dignité, vérité et justice.

[European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺 @eu_eeas]

Africa is the world’s youngest continent.

By 2050, one quarter of the world’s population will live in Africa.

This demographic transformation will shape the global economy, innovation, labour markets and international partnerships for decades to come.

The EU and Africa are long-standing partners in peace, security, trade and in creating opportunities for the next generation.

Our partnership is an investment in a shared future. This Africa Day, we look ahead together.
