THE Embassy of Rwanda in Ghana last Friday hosted a reception in Accra to mark the 30th anniversary of the country's national day, known as "Kwibohora 30." It brought together members of the diplomatic corps, the Ghanaian business fraternity, representatives of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), Ghanaian government officials and the Rwandan Community in Ghana. The day is celebrated at the national level in Rwanda every July 4 to mark the day the Rwandese Patriotic Army (RPA) put an end to the genocide against the Tutsi (an ethnic group) across Rwanda. The High Commissioner of Rwanda in Ghana, Rosemary Mbabazi, in her remarks said since the opening of Rwanda's first resident mission in Ghana in 2020, the two countries had signed a range of agreements in areas such as tourism and culture, trade and economic cooperation and also worked on tangible initiatives including vaccine manufacturing for Africa among others. As a result, she said the movement between the two countries had increased, aided by regular Rwandair flights that connect Accra and Kigali, deepening business and formal education connections. According to the ambassador, the decision of the Ghanaian government to cement the bilateral relations between Rwanda and Ghana by opening a resident High Commission in Rwanda, whose head of mission had already received agreement from the government of Rwanda, proved that "the cooperation can only give surge to new heights." Rwanda's governance since independence she said was characterised by "divisionism and injustice" largely meted against the Tutsi group who for nearly four decades were targeted for periodic persecution.
