On July 16, 2025, a significant day for Rwanda and the broader Great Lakes Region unfolded as President Paul Kagame led a pivotal Cabinet meeting at Urugwiro Village, symbolizing the country’s unwavering commitment to peace, economic growth, and national development.

A major highlight was the ratification of the historic Peace Agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), signed in Washington D.C. and mediated by the United States. This milestone agreement signals hope for regional stability after years of conflict, promising to foster peace, security, and economic integration across the region. President Kagame expressed Rwanda’s dedication to implementing the deal and eagerly anticipates the conclusion of ongoing Doha Talks, with support from the African Union and Qatar.

Back home, Rwanda’s thriving mining sector continues to forge a pathway for economic transformation. The government approved new licenses for mineral exploration, signaling a boost in high-value mineral discovery and investment that promises to uplift local communities and create opportunities for Rwandans.

The Cabinet also took steps to strengthen Rwanda’s international relations through agreements with Nigeria and Austria, promoting tax cooperation and financial development. Additionally, appointments across various government ministries and diplomatic missions reflect Rwanda’s ongoing effort to build a skilled and dedicated leadership committed to national progress.

For ordinary Rwandans, these initiatives mean a future rooted in peace, economic opportunity, and regional harmony—values reflected in the government’s commitment from the highest levels of leadership, aiming to uplift every citizen and foster sustainable growth across Rwanda.
