➡️In a few days, Kigali will once again welcome the Africa CEO Forum, one of the continent’s most important platforms for public-private dialogue, investment, and deal-making. This year’s theme, “The Scale Imperative: Why Africa Must Embrace Shared Ownership,” speaks directly to the moment Africa is in. Fragmented success is no longer enough. To compete globally, we must build larger markets, stronger value chains, deeper pools of capital, and companies with the ambition and capacity to operate across borders. For Rwanda, hosting the Forum reflects our ambition to serve as a gateway for investment, logistics, services, and innovation, the destination connecting global capital with African opportunity, and helping turn dialogue into action. We look forward to welcoming business leaders, investors, policymakers, and partners from across Africa and the world to Kigali on 14–15 May.

As Rwanda remembers the more than a million victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, we sincerely appreciate the messages of solidarity received from governments, partners and friends across the world. International solidarity, with the clarity expressed today, together with a genuine resolve to action, remain the bedrock of “Never Again”. #Kwibuka32

🕯️ ‘Kwibuka’ means ‘to remember’. Today we mark the 32nd commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

Uyu munsi, Abanyarwanda n’isi yose turibuka ku nshuro ya 32 Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi mu 1994. Hatangiye kandi Icyumweru cy'Icyunamo ku rwego rw'Igihugu n’iminsi 100 y’ibikorwa byo kwibuka. Kwibuka twiyubaka. #Kwibuka32

CLARIFICATION OF INCIDENT AT WASHINGTON DC HOTEL An unarmed member of the security detail of a Rwandan VIP staying in a Washington DC hotel inadvertently encountered security agents of a DRC delegation in a hotel hallway accessible to all guests. Both delegations were staying at the same hotel. The Rwandan detail member was briefly restrained from accessing the elevator by the DRC security agents, which was inappropriate and wrong behavior in a common area, but the matter was eventually resolved without further escalation. Following this incident, the Rwandan party made a decision to change hotels, but were harassed and filmed by unknown persons as they checked out and departed. Despite this provocation, the Rwandan team was restrained and professional at all times, and carefully avoided any confrontation. There has been gross misrepresentation of what transpired, including blatant dishonesty by the DRC Minister of Information in a press conference last night. These contemptible lies should be disregarded and condemned. END

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
