“When you see someone give himself so fully that he is even ready to lose his life, then serving the country at the level we have reached today, compared to that kind of sacrifice, should really not be too much for us.” President Kagame | Swearing-in Ceremony of New Government Officials.

This afternoon at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame received Hon. Amb. Stephen Mbundi, Secretary-General of the East African Community @jumuiya. Discussions focused on Rwanda's continued commitment to regional integration.

“Leaders often should not look at themselves alone. They are supposed to come last, not first, in sharing the benefits that come from doing things well.

Too often, however, it is evident that some people put their own interests first.

Many even add arrogance to it, forgetting that ours is a service to the nation, not a contest between one person and another. The interests of the country must always come first. And when you serve the country well, the truth is that you too are among those who benefit. What matters is for people to see their duty that way.” President Kagame | Swearing-in Ceremony of New Government Officials

“A single market works best, when rules and standards are predictable and consistent across jurisdictions. The institutions mandated to lead this work already exist, and they deserve our support. The same principle applies to visa policies.

In Rwanda, we removed this particular barrier because we wanted people to visit, connect and discover opportunities. And as we know, it is just the right thing to do. We saw stronger business activity, increased tourism, and expanded air links.

Experience, therefore, shows us that openness and cooperation are powerful drivers of development. No single region has unlocked its potential, while remaining fragmented. Air connectivity opens immense opportunities and possibilities.” President Kagame | African Air Transport Convention & Expo 2026

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“Air connectivity, at its core, is about Africa’s ability to act collectively and obtain concrete results. For decades, we have spoken about integration, trade and free movement. We know what has to be done. We just have to do it.” President Kagame | African Air Transport Convention & Expo 2026

“The current standing of RDF does not exist by default. It has been built over many years through dedicated service, discipline, and professionalism. You must lead with integrity, and never stop learning and improving.” President Kagame | RDF Senior Command and Staff Course 14 Graduation Ceremony

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“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.
