#EidMubarak to Muslims in Rwanda and around the world on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr. May this celebration bring peace, hope, and blessings to every home, every country and region, and serve as a reminder of the importance of generosity, unity, and shared humanity.

#EidMubarak! 🌙 Amb. @JohnMirenge and the entire team wish you and your loved ones a blessed #EidAlFitr filled with good health, peace and progress.

Mes chaleureuses félicitations à mon frère, le Président Denis Sassou Nguesso @SassouNGuesso_, pour sa réélection à la tête de la République du Congo. Le Rwanda se réjouit de la qualité de nos relations bilatérales et de la poursuite d’une coopération étroite, au service de nos priorités communes et de la prospérité de nos peuples.

It's not that "Rwanda could withdraw", it's that "Rwanda WILL withdraw" its troops from Mozambique, if sustainable funding is not secured for its counter-terrorism operations in Cabo Delgado. We didn't pay hundreds of millions of dollars and our RDF soldiers didn't pay the ultimate sacrifice to stabilize this region, allow IDPs to return home, children to go back to school, businesses to reopen, and mega investments in LNG to resume, just to see our valiant soldiers being constantly questioned, vilified, criticised, blamed or sanctioned by the very countries that greatly benefit from our intervention in Mozambique. Indeed, we are ready to leave Mozambique, if our work and achievements are not appreciated.

This evening in Paris, President Kagame attended the UEFA Champions League match at Parc des Princes, where Visit Rwanda partner Paris Saint-Germain secured a 5–2 victory over Chelsea FC.

Happy International Women’s Day! Today and every day, we celebrate the foundational role women continue to play in Rwanda’s transformation. Your resilience, ingenuity and leadership continue to affirm a simple truth: a nation can only truly progress when inclusion and equality are upheld in every sphere. #IWD2026

Happy International Women’s Day! Today, we honor the strength, resilience, and leadership of women in Rwanda and across the globe. Your courage, determination, and innovation continue to shape our communities and drive sustainable progress. #IWD2026

Happy Women’s Day! “I urge you to carve your character carefully, define your boundaries, advocate for yourselves and other women and girls, and protect your physical and mental health. And please, love yourself with the same gentleness you give others – the same gentleness you wish and deserve to experience from the world.” - First Lady Mrs Jeannette Kagame #IWD2026

“We will have our shoulders burdened and remain dignified.” President Kagame

“Nowadays, none of us can afford to be indifferent to geopolitical trends. Whether or not you believe that there was a rules-based international order, it is clear that changes are underway, which will affect all of us. One thing that has not changed, however, is that right and duty of every nation, to ensure the safety of its borders and its people. It is that duty that never changes. Rwanda is no exception. And yet, for reasons that continue to elude us, Rwanda is consistently asked to ignore threats to its security and compromise its national defence. The conflict in eastern DRC is neither new, nor is it too difficult to understand. It has been prolonged for decades, due to neglect and complacency, notably by those with the power to make the biggest difference in resolving it. Rwanda’s security concerns stem from the continued presence of the FDLR and its violent extremist ideology, which is the ideology of genocide. Unfortunately, that seems to have some backers in the region and beyond, under all kinds of guises. Rwanda, because of its history and its geography, requires defensive borders. Our defensive measures are aimed at this objective, and nothing else.” President Kagame | Diplomatic Dinner

President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame have arrived at the Kigali Convention Centre where they are hosting members of the Diplomatic Corps for dinner, following today’s presentation of letters of credence of 20 newly accredited Ambassadors and High Commissioners to Rwanda.
