While here at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda, I met with President of Rwanda, His Excellency Paul Kagame, for discussions on strengthening relations between Jamaica and Rwanda.
Our engagement provided an opportunity to explore areas of mutual interest, share perspectives on issues affecting our countries and identify opportunities for greater cooperation.
As Jamaica continues to build partnerships beyond our region, engagements such as these are important in creating new opportunities for trade, investment and development for the benefit of our people.
This afternoon, President Kagame arrived in Dakar, Senegal, where he was received by Senegalese Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Lo at Léopold Sédar Senghor Military Airport. Later in the evening, the President will join his host, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, and other leaders for the Opening Ceremony of the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games at Abdoulaye Wade Stadium.
