He presented credentials to the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vui during a ceremony held on Monday 22nd May 2023.
The ceremonial event not only symbolizes the Ambassador’s formal accreditation, but also a commitment to deepening cooperation and fostering mutual understanding.
Following the presentation of credentials, Amb. Kamanzi delivered a message from President Paul Kagame to President Aleksandar Vui and the people of Serbia.
President Vui greeted Amb. Kamanzi warmly and assured him of his full support during his tour of duty.
In addition, the Serbian president conveyed his best wishes to Rwandan President Kagame and the Rwandan people.
Prior to presenting the letters of credence in Serbia, Amb. Kamanzi met with members of the Rwandan community in Serbia as well as friends of Rwanda.
Last month, Rwanda entered agreements with Serbia to import wheat and maize from the country. Meanwhile the East African country will also export coffee and tea to Serbia.
The latter exports 8.1 million tonnes annually.
With the current global crisis and shortage of supplies due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Rwanda is expected to largely benefit from Serbia- which is one of the largest exporters of cereals globally.
Before the crisis, 64% of Rwanda’s wheat imports were from Russia and Ukraine.
Rwanda also plans to send students to pursue technology related courses in Serbia.
