Duda made the appreciation on 7th December 2021 as he hosted Ambassador Prof. Anastase Shyaka who presented credentials to represent Rwanda in the country.
After stopping the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi, RPA Inkotanyi soldiers installed non-divisive leadership promoting unity, reconciliation, and inclusive development among Rwandans under the championship of President Paul Kagame.
Rwanda experienced serious economic collapse but has today become a resilient country with impressive transformations in various aspects of life that it is seen as a role model for many countries.
The country has been also enhancing foreign policy with the opening of new diplomatic missions.
Prof. Shyaka was named ambassador to Poland in June 2021 becoming the first envoy representing Rwanda to the country.
Speaking to IGIHE, Prof. Shyaka revealed that he also held discussions with the President of Poland who commended his counterpart of Rwanda for willingness to enhance relations through the opening of embassy in the country.
Duda reiterated his country’s commitment to promote cooperation between both countries.
“He said that the day was a historic occasion and thanked President of the Republic of Rwanda for opening embassy in the country. He expressed willingness to maintain collaboration to enhance bilateral ties and cooperation,” Prof. Shyaka revealed.
Rwanda’s ambassador to Poland also underscored that it is of great significance to have embassy in the country which accommodates a large number of Rwandans involved in various businesses.
“I thank President of the Republic for trust bestowed upon me to represent him to the country. They expressed willingness to stand with Rwanda and commended the country’s remarkable progress and governance,” he said.
The event was followed by the laying of wreath to the grave of unknown soldier at Piłsudski Square.
The latter is an enormous square in central Warsaw, best known as the home of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This square is home to several noteworthy monuments related to Polish history and celebrating military heroics.
It was known as Adolf Hitler Platz under Nazi occupation and later as Victory Square under the Communist rule. Today, the square is named for Jozef Piłsudski, who helped lead Poland to independence in 1918.
