It is evident that a peaceful solution is necessary.”
Transitioning to economic development, Boulos highlighted Rwanda’s ambitious goals for growth and leadership in the region. “The Rwandan government aims to become an economic leader and has a society ready to promote this vision,” he remarked. He also pointed out the increasing presence of American businesses in Rwanda, stating, “Many American companies have already invested in Rwanda.”
Boulos concluded by expressing the U.S.’s readiness to collaborate closely with Rwanda to achieve these economic objectives. “We are prepared to work with Rwanda to reach this goal. This partnership is vital, as the resolution of regional conflicts will pave the way for unlocking the full economic potential of the region.”
The meeting between Massad Boulos and President Paul Kagame marked an important step in reinforcing U.S.-Rwanda relations. Key outcomes include the reaffirmation of the United States’ commitment to facilitating peace in the eastern DRC, support for Rwanda’s vision of economic leadership, and the strengthening of bilateral cooperation.
Looking ahead, Boulos emphasized, “The United States stands ready to support Rwanda not just in the pursuit of peace but also in realizing its economic ambitions. Together, we can create a stable and prosperous future for the entire region.” Echoing this sentiment, President Kagame affirmed, “Rwanda is committed to working with our partners, including the United States, to secure peace and drive economic growth. Our vision is clear, and with strong collaboration, we will achieve it.”
In light of these discussions, both leaders issued a call to action for the international community to join these efforts. “We encourage all international partners, regional organizations, and stakeholders to support initiatives that promote peace and economic development in the region,” Boulos urged. “Collective action will not only secure stability but also unlock unprecedented opportunities for growth and prosperity across Africa.”
Moving forward, the U.S., Rwanda, and a broader coalition of global partners will continue to work together to foster peace, security, and sustainable economic growth throughout the region.
