Eight years ago, President Paul Kagame met with YPO members who visited Rwanda in July 2018 as part of the organization’s Rwanda Life Changing Experience trip.
At the time, Kagame highlighted Rwanda’s transformation since the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and spoke about the country’s efforts to invest in people, health, education, security and stability.
He also told the visiting business leaders that Rwanda was open to investors. “We are no longer trying to survive, we are living,” Kagame said during that meeting. The President also encouraged investors to consider Rwanda, saying, “Because Rwanda works.”
