\u201cToday in Kibugabuga, President Kagame received a US Congressional delegation at his farm. The delegation is led by Senator Jim Inhofe accompanied by Senator Mike Rounds and John Boozman. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe trip to Rwanda is Senator Jim Inhofe\u2019s last CODEL [Congressional Member Delegation] visit before his retirement. The cordial meeting discussed regional and global affairs and the existing bilateral relations between Rwanda and the United States,\u201d reads the tweet.<\/p>\n

On Thursday 15th September 2022, Rwanda\u2019s Embassy in the United States hosted a breakfast at the US Capitol in appreciation of Senator Jim Inhofe\u2019s career and friendship with Africa and Rwanda, in particular.<\/p>\n

In a message he sent at the time, President Kagame commended Senator Jim Inhofe for his dedication to cement relations between Rwanda and the United States throughout his tenure as a senator in US Congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have watched you invest in learning about and understanding Rwanda and other African countries. We have also watched you educate your peers on the importance of Africa and countries like Rwanda as worthy global allies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have shown that a productive relationship with the United States is mutually beneficial for our people and contributes to greater security and stronger economies,\u201d added Kagame.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, Senator Inhofe also appreciated the warm welcome he is always given whenever he travels to Rwanda.<\/p>\n
