Dear Friends and Partners of Rwanda,

It is with great pleasure, for me to express, on behalf of my President Dr. Paul Kagame, my accreditation as ambassador from Rwanda to such a strong friend, the Republic of South Africa. There are many opportunities for friendship and cooperation between our countries. These opportunities include, but are not limited to investment by South African companies and individuals in priority areas such as Infrastructure, energy, air transport, communications, agriculture, education, tourism and health.

Rwanda is developing its infrastructure to become competitive in attracting large scale investments, the most recent of which is exploitation of the untapped Lake Kivu methane gas energy resource. Our government’s focus on developing Rwanda’s economy from being primarily agricultural to acknowledge based economy means that innovative technologies will play a vital role in the creation of new businesses that will support sustainable economic growth and creation of jobs for highly skilled workers.

Rwanda is one of the most naturally beautiful countries in the world. Investment opportunities exist both in developing tourism infrastructure and in positioning Rwanda in the international market place as a new, exotic destination for eco-tourism.
