A full VR Box, great energy & passion for Aston Villa. A very Visit Rwanda space, & a truly warm welcome. Such a cool first home game experience!

Tough battle on the pitch, stuff to review in training, but, certainly, a promising Season.

Rwanda has finalized a landmark dual-currency financing agreement, advancing efforts to diversify funding and strengthen prudent debt management. Backed by multilateral guarantees, the deal secures competitive market access, lower debt costs, smoother repayments, and enhanced long-term financing stability.

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“I am addressing young people here who are aspiring to be leaders. It is in your capacity, in your ability, in every possibility, to give your life a purpose and to make a choice. A choice that you know if you have made it, it is not just going to be confined to your life, but has impact on other people’s lives.

That is why it’s important when people are talking about why we should work together, continentally. Because not working together, what purpose does it serve? Who benefits from it? I just want to say, give it a try, you fail, you make a loss here, you make a gain here, but you stay the course. Keep going.” President Kagame | Africa Mindset Reset Forum 2026

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

President Kagame has arrived for the Africa Mindset Reset Forum, where he joins H.E Hailemariam Desalegn, former Prime Minister of Ethiopia and co-founder @ASG_Africa, H.E. Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, Vice President of Ghana, H.E. Thabo Mbeki, Former President of the Republic of South Africa, Dr. Sidi Ould Tah, President of the African Development Bank, for a conversation on the Forum’s theme: “From Pan-Africanism to Meta-Africanism”. The discussion will explore how Africa can build on the dignity and solidarity of Pan-Africanism to establish Meta-Africanism as its next chapter, resetting how the continent thinks, leads, builds and educates. #MindsetReset2026

“We behave in a manner that protects us, at any cost, we will do anything that contributes to that protection, day or night. We will also try to do what is right. We are a country that can’t afford to mess up.” President Kagame

Rwanda Foreign Policy Explained | What Does a Rwandan Diplomat Actually Do?

We often see diplomats at official meetings, ceremonies and international events. But those moments are only one part of the job.

Much of the work happens behind the scenes: preparing for meetings, following developments, building and fostering relationships, negotiating, listening to partners, supporting and protecting Rwandans abroad, and looking for opportunities that advance Rwanda’s interests.

This work can help open doors for Rwandan businesses, strengthen partnerships, support Rwandans living abroad, and connect Rwanda with new ideas, knowledge and opportunities.

This week on our web series “Rwanda Foreign Policy Explained”, we take you behind the scenes to explore what diplomats actually do—and how their work connects Rwanda to the world.
