President Kagame reminded the leaders of the church of the need to learn from the mistakes of the past. “There are different paths that lead you to God but there is only one God…we are all going in the same direction. The same applies to our nation, we may be different but we are all working for the development of our nation,” President Kagame said.
Sharing his insight on the current challenges faced by Rwanda, President Kagame told the participants: “We have overcome many challenges and we will overcome what we are going through today…we will continue to uphold the truth, value ourselves and stay true to who we are.”
“The more someone denies you your right, the hard you must fight for it…challenges should not make us stronger and more determined to work hard for a better future,” President Kagame said.
