This morning at the Élysée Palace, President Kagame met with President @EmmanuelMacron of France. The two Heads of State discussed the continued strengthening of Rwanda–France relations, cooperation across key areas of mutual interest, as well as regional and global developments.
"Be silent when your heart is on fire. When you want to win more than you want to heal. Speak when you're calm enough to be kind."

RIP Jules KALISA
FERWAFA General Secretary from 2006–2011, he served Rwandan football with dedication and determination.
His contribution will be remembered.
May his soul rest in peace.
This afternoon at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame met with various namers who named baby gorillas during the 21st #KwitaIzina gorilla naming ceremony, including: Dominic Barton, Chairman of @RioTinto & LeapFrog Investments, Shaikha Al Nuwais, Secretary-General of UN Tourism @UNWTO, Paul Danforth, President at CAA Sports and Patrice @Evra, former team captain for both Manchester United and the France national team.
I hope those of us in communications are taking a moment to reflect on the lessons from all this chaos.
If there is anything this episode has reminded us, it is that communications is not just about what we say, but how, when and where we say it. A few lessons stand out fr me :
1. Press conference preparation matters because a seemingly ´small ´statement can quickly become a MAJOR crisis when the language is ambiguous or open to interpretation.
2. Narrative clarity is everything. If you don’t clearly define the story, someone else will define it foryou!
Hopefully, we are not just watching the chaos unfold, we are also taking notes.
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Kampeta Pitchette Sayinzoga @Ksayinzoga as Chief Executive Officer of @AFRwanda, effective 1 August 2026.
Ms. Kampeta joins AFR at an important moment as we begin implementing our new strategic framework and deepen our contribution to #Rwanda's financial sector.
Her experience in institution building, partnership development and inclusive finance will be invaluable as AFR continues to expand its impact.
Please join us in welcoming Ms. Kampeta to the AFR family.
“What was pure altruism became a thoughtful answer to a quiet need. @SolidAfrica turned an act of kindness into a service that restores dignity along with health. That commitment is one of many for which we are grateful within Rwanda’s civil society.” - First Lady Mrs Jeannette Kagame during Solid’ Africa 15 and Beyond Gala Dinner | Kigali, 24 July 2026

“We want to harness the good of AI through industry, through policy making, and making sure that really we get the results. That is the most important thing.” President Kagame | #AIforGood Global Summit 2026
“Today, connectivity is no longer the end goal. We are now transitioning to the era of data-driven growth. Artificial intelligence is the common denominator that will redefine healthcare, education and energy, among many other sectors. As a commission, our mission is to ensure this transformation does not widen existing divisions.
The task ahead of us is urgent, but we will face challenges. The objective isn’t just to have a conversation. It is to ensure everything we agree to do, gets translated into tangible and practical outcomes.” President Kagame
President Kagame joined fellow Co-Chair Marc Benioff and Vice-Chair Doreen Bogdan-Martin for a fireside chat marking the launch of the AI for Good Global Commission. He then chaired the Commission’s inaugural meeting alongside Marc Benioff and Doreen Bogdan-Martin.
The high-level initiative brings together 44 commissioners to identify practical ways to harness artificial intelligence to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
“Artificial intelligence has the power to transform lives and strengthen economies. Africa is well-positioned to contribute to the digital economy. By 2050, our continent will have the largest, fastest-growing workforce in the world. There are many success stories about what our young people are doing on the continent with artificial intelligence. We have to invest in them. It will be a win-win for everyone. The bottom line, is that for A.I. to serve humanity as a whole, we must get it right in Africa and everywhere else.” President Kagame | #AIforGood Global Summit 2026

“This course was designed to enhance your ability to navigate complex and sometimes, seemingly impossible situations. There are, however, certain qualities that it cannot give you that you must personally cultivate.
The first is courage. You will not always have guarantees, and for some, this can create paralysis. Courage is what enables a leader to act decisively despite uncertainty and competing pressures.
The second is judgement. As your responsibilities increase, so will the consequences of your decisions. Good judgement is developed through experience, collaboration and the humility to learn from mistakes and adjust course when necessary.
The third is purpose, which comes from knowing precisely what you are fighting for. For Rwanda, that purpose is anchored in protecting our people and sovereignty, while advancing the continued transformation of our country.” President Kagame
President Kagame, Commander-in-Chief of the Rwanda Defence Force, presided over the graduation of 108 Senior Officers from Rwanda and across the continent and beyond, who formed the 14th intake of the Senior Command and Staff Course, at RDF Command and Staff College, Nyakinama.
