President Kagame thanks Rivlin and Netanyahu for their hospitality and warm words, and says his country is eager to expand its cooperation with Israel in both the private and public sectors.
“Cooperation between our countries has blossomed in many areas among them technology, agriculture, and energy, as well as security,” Kagame says at a welcoming ceremony at Rivlin’s residence in Jerusalem.
“We appreciate what Israel has to offer in these and other fields, and we are very happy to be working with you,” he says. “Rwanda is open for business and we look forward to welcoming private sector delegations from Israel even more frequently in the future.”
The Rwandan leader goes on to say that following Netanyahu’s visit to Africa last year, Israel has “continued to follow through on its commitments and objective of scaling up engagement across Africa.”
“We are looking forward to reinforcing our cooperation with Israel on common challenges and issues of mutual interest,” Kagame concludes.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
