The Head of State made the disclosure on Sunday 16th as he received his counterpart of Hungary, Katalin Nov\u00e1k who has spent days during her visit to Rwanda. <\/p>\n

Kagame said that discussions with Katalin Nov\u00e1k focused on making bilateral ties even stronger for the benefit of both countries\u2019 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point, I want to mention that Rwanda intends to open diplomatic presence in Budapest very soon,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n

The President disclosed that the aim is to enable the creation of jobs, foster an enabling environment for businesses. <\/p>\n

Both countries also signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) on the training of Rwandan experts on atomic and peaceful use of nuclear energy, a Stipendium Hungaricum agreement as well as a loan facility agreement on upgrading of the Karenge water treatment plant in Rwamagana.<\/p>\n

Kagame said that the cooperation between Rwanda and Hungary in the field of education is very important where 41 Rwandans have so far received scholarships to study in Hungary universities noting that it was agreed to extend the programme during discussions with Nov\u00e1k.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate that. We’ll also be working with Hungary to train Rwandans in the field of nuclear energy, an important component of our future energy plants,\u201d Kagame said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the new agreements signed, we are committed to build on this shared vision and create mutually beneficial opportunities for the people of Rwanda and Hungary. We appreciate the significant loan provided by Hungary to upgrade the Karenge water treatment plant. We hope to benefit from Hungary\u2019s expertise in water management,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

President Nov\u00e1k who is the first Hungarian President to visit Rwanda said that her country is a doorway to the European Union, just like Rwanda is a doorway to the African continent, that makes the situation of the two countries unique.<\/p>\n

\u201cHungary is bigger in size, but our population is almost similar. We need to focus on how we cooperate based on a mutual respect because that is what we can offer as Hungarians, the respect for you, for your way of life, for your people and for your nation; and that is what we expect also from our allies. It is this mutual respect background which our corporation already lies on and which it is going to fly on in the future as well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Hungary recently opened a trade and counselor mission in Kigali. Nov\u00e1k expressed delight that Kagame has also expressed willingness to open diplomatic presence in Budapest and welcomed the move. <\/p>\n

Nov\u00e1k who is also in Rwanda to attend the ongoing Women Deliver Conference and she told President Kagame that: \u201cYour Invitation to women deliver proof for our common commitment to empowering women. I thank you for what I have done in this respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nov\u00e1k also hailed Rwanda\u2019s progress after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi owing to President Kagame\u2019s visionary leadership. <\/p>\n

Rwanda and Hungary enjoy diplomatic relations in the fields of investment, trade and air transport among others. <\/p>\n
