🇷🇼The journey continues! From Europe’s biggest clubs to America’s biggest stage, we now join the NFL with the LA Rams. Each sponsorship is a step in our long-term strategy: using global platforms to grow tourism, investment, and sports development.

This afternoon at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame received graduate students and fellows from the Harvard Kennedy School, various Harvard University schools, as well as the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, who are concluding their week-long Harvard Rwanda Trek 2026. During the exchange, President Kagame highlighted Rwanda’s transformation over the past 32 years with a focus on efficient and accountable governance, institution-building, investing in the next generation, and advancing self-reliance.

➡️Rwanda's economy grew by 9.4% in 2025, outperforming projections and confirming the strength of our macroeconomic fundamentals. The performance reflects consistent policy execution, prudent macroeconomic management, and sustained investment across productive sectors of the economy. For businesses and investors, the signal is clear: we continue to provide a stable, predictable, and pro-business environment, anchored in strong institutions, ongoing reforms, and a clear long-term development vision.

Today at IPRC Kicukiro, President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame attended the men’s singles final of the ATP Rwanda 100 Challenger, which saw Argentina’s Marco Trungelliti defeat Italy’s Marco Cecchinato, during the third edition of the tournament to take place in Rwanda. The week-long ATP Challenger 100 follows the just concluded ATP Challenger 75, which ran from 2-8 March, with both tournaments featuring 66 players from 20 different countries. #RwandaChallenger

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.

Fitch Ratings has affirmed our credit rating at 'B+' with the outlook upgraded from Negative to Stable. This rating acknowledges Rwanda’s economic resilience and effective strategies, paving a clear path for stability and growth despite challenging global environment. 📈 #FitchRatings surl.li/mqszly

“Rwanda aims to be a high-income country, by 2050. That requires abundant electricity, and that is why we have decided to make nuclear energy central to our strategy. Achieving this requires strong institutions, sound regulation,and an educated workforce, and that is the foundation Rwanda is building. Rwanda is determined to do what it takes, to power our development with nuclear energy, and we look forward to you being a part of this journey.” President Kagame | Nuclear Energy Summit.

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

Huge thanks to @RDBrwanda for the incredible experience at the @LAClippers game! It was more than just a game—it was the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations about the future of #conservation in Africa. From the vibrant energy of our #AfricanYouth to our shared commitment to protecting the majestic gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, it’s clear: sport is a powerful anchor for the change we want to see. Grateful for this partnership and excited to continue turning conversations into action on the ground!

This afternoon at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame met with a delegation of 25 global leaders from the Dialog Group. The discussions focused on Rwanda’s transformation over the last three decades, including the country’s journey to reconciliation and unity, good governance and innovative leadership. They also exchanged on opportunities for collaboration to support the next phase of growth, through key priority sectors. Led by Bobby Pittman, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Kupanda Capital and Chairman of the Rwanda Development Bank (BRD); Nick Allardice, President and CEO of GiveDirectly; and Jocelyn Wyatt, CEO of Alight, the group is visiting Rwanda for exchanges on leadership and development.

Thank you @PaulKagame @UrugwiroVillage for hosting this important discussion on how the United States, Israel, and Rwanda can deepen cooperation and strategic partnerships.

This weekend in Los Angeles, President Kagame attended the 2026 NBA All-Star Game, hosted at the Intuit Dome. On the sidelines of the game, President Kagame met with leaders from the sports and business community, including Steve Ballmer, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. Their discussions reflected the growing ties between Rwanda and the NBA, including the partnership launched last year between the Clippers and Visit Rwanda.

Kigali’s Vibe for the Week-end ! Kigali’s building another marvel… Parklane Center! Yesterday with @CityofKigali Mayor we officially broke ground on a 25‑storey mixed‑use tower that will reshape our skyline. ✨ 5‑star hotel + penthouse ✨ Modern office spaces ✨ First-ever 25m infinity pool on the 15th floor ✨ A bridge connecting directly to the Kigali Convention Centre This is more than a building — it’s a symbol of Rwanda’s ambition and the future we’re creating for our cities. More skyscrapers coming. Kigali ni uburyohe🌆🇷🇼 Congz to Parklane Group and Motta Engil! Question to abafundi & Architects: Is there any other infinity pool on a cantilever beam in Africa, or is this another... Where is Rwanda first to build?

B-READY 2025, the @WorldBank's Business Ready Report, confirms Rwanda’s position as Africa’s top-ranked economy, recognised globally for translating reform into real-world business efficiency. The report highlights Rwanda’s performance across the following areas: 🔹 First in Africa in regulatory framework 🔹 First in Africa in operational efficiency, ranked 12th globally, and the only Sub Saharan African economy to reach this level 🔹 Third in Africa in public services, with continued progress underway Download the full report: rdb.rw/wp-content/upl…

➡️We are making steady progress in consolidating One Stop Center services onto a single digital platform: onestopcentre.rdb.rw. As part of this transition, business registration services go live on the platform effective 4 January 2026. Services already available include building permits and agro-processing licenses, with many more to be added in the coming months. Centralizing digital services simplifies how investors and businesses access government services by reducing institutional fragmentation and providing a single, unified point of access. The new system will improve transparency and predictability, enable end-to-end digital submission and tracking of applications, and support faster, more consistent service delivery across institutions. Thank you for your patience during this transition. A public awareness campaign will follow in early 2026 to support smooth adoption.
