Reflecting on his country’s development, Ambassador Karabaranga stressed that, under the leadership of President Paul Kagame, Rwanda has made tremendous strides in numerous social and economic fields. Rwanda repeatedly ranks as one of the safest, cleanest, most peaceful and most economically progressive countries, not just in Africa but in the world. Before long, Rwanda will become a middle income country, and the nation is exemplary in gender equality. 
The reception program featured traditional Rwandan music and dance, along with a special performance by singer Masamba. Ambassador Karabaranga concluded, Rwanda still has long way to go but he is convinced that Rwandan will surmount the challenges on her path. Rwanda is looking at the future unfazed.
