\u201cAs the new Japanese Ambassador to Rwanda, it\u2019s my pleasure to visit Rwanda National Police; particularly I came here to congratulate the police upon the completion of the cyber centre. You have well utilized the assistance of the Japanese people,\u201d Amb. Takayuki said.<\/p>\n
The facility houses both the digital forensic lab and a cyber fusion centre, among others.<\/p>\n
\u201cRwanda has embrace ICT as one of the areas in its leadership and development, but for technology-based development to be more active and important; the cyber security measure should be emphasized. I believe this centre will play that great role in Rwanda,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have observed that the centre needs more additional facilities for it to function more efficiently, that\u2019s why today I am going to sign another agreement with the Ministry of Finance concerning more equipment for this cyber facility to make it more efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n
