Macron made the revelation as he spoke to the media on Tuesday during his visit to Ethiopia.
\n\u201cIt is true that Rwanda invited us in commemoration activities. We received the invitation and I am sure that France will be represented,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Talking to the media yesterday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Sezibera said that there is apparent evidence of good relationships between Rwanda and France. <\/p>\n
He said that president Macron was invited to join Rwandans in the 25th commemoration of 1994 Genocide Against Tutsi along with other leaders. <\/p>\n
It is said that the delegation of France parliamentarians led by Sira Sylla from Senegal will be in Kigali on 7th April 2019. <\/p>\n
It is not the first time that France is invited to similar events. The participation is considered a significant milestone for both countries\u2019 bilateral relations which wavered in the past over the role France is accused to have played during the Genocide. <\/p>\n
On 11-13, November 2018, President Paul Kagame was in France attending the Forum de Paris Peace Forum on the invitation of Macron. <\/p>\n
It was later said that Kagame presented a letter to Macron inviting him to visit Rwanda in 2019. <\/p>\n
Nicolas Sarkozy is the only France president who visited Rwanda on 25th February 2010 following the 1994 Genocide Against Tutsi. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
