President Kagame responds to those who say: "Formula 1 is too big for a small country like Rwanda."
I tell those people to take a deep breath and calm down, and wait to see what is coming.
First, we are people, like the people of other parts of the world. There is nothing, no event, nothing that is bigger than people.
So, we are a small country, but we are a people.
Formula One is big indeed, but it is not a goal just in itself. In fact, Formula One is part of the big picture of what Rwanda has to do.
We made progress as a country, as a people, but also for this particular Formula One, as a sport for Africa.
We are not looking at just Rwanda alone. We are looking at Rwanda in the context of the continent, and we have indeed ambitions to bring in other African brothers and sisters to participate.
It is Rwandan, it is African, and it is a big deal that we are very happy to be associated with.
