“Rwanda and Senegal are guided by the same values: putting people first, delivering results, and pursuing a bold, transformative vision.

Our discussions today reaffirmed our commitment to act on these principles.

We also share the vision of a self-reliant, united continent, guided by accountable governance and inclusive development.

In Rwanda, we have learned that transformation is possible through unity, strong institutions, and empowering citizens to contribute fully. Above all, it requires a clear sense of purpose, and effective implementation.

These lessons shape how we approach development domestically, and in our partnerships.” President Kagame | State Visit of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye of Senegal | Kigali, 18 October 2025
