“For our friends, we are very good friends, you should rely on us. We won’t disappoint our friends. For our adversaries, for those who don’t wish us well, we will always extend a hand of cooperation. We will always show them that we can work together. But should they choose to keep us as enemies, Rwanda, Rwandans, RPF, we never take things for granted. Our peace and security, we don’t take it for granted. For our enemies, we will always try to show them that we can work together but should they choose to keep us as enemies, we will also make sure that we don’t disappoint in fighting back. That is the spirit, the nature, the philosophy of RPF and which has become the Rwandan culture and philosophy.” Chairman Kagame | RPF Cocktail Reception.
