The program included a wide variety of entertainment, like a Rwandan music live band, traditional dance performances and a Rwandan culinary experience.
In his speech H.E. ambassador Jean Pierre Karabaranga said he was honoured by everyone’s presence to celebrate the journey from a dark past to a brighter future. “A journey of socio-economic transformation, which turned what was a failed state two decades ago into a model of a successful post-conflict reconstruction”, said Ambassador Karabaranga.
“the secret behind our success story can be found in three decisions that we took and that made us to be where we are today: we decided to stay together, we decided to be accountable and we decided to think big.
But the most important for us in that we were and are lucky to have a visionary leadership under President Paul Kagame and the Government of Unity and Reconciliation”.
