{The President of Rwanda has stressed the importance of strengthening national unity so that people can tackle the challenges they face.}
Addressing the General Assembly on Wednesday, President Paul Kagame spoke about the importance of managing diversity in society by promoting politics that are national in scope.
He stressed that whatever differences people may have, their common citizenship is a bond that unites them.
“What we see around the world today is that national identities are too weak, not too strong. As a result, ethnicity, region and religion become the dominant currency of politics and nations are torn apart.”
President Kagame said that international systems should encourage efforts by governments and civil society to strengthen national unity.
He said the people of Rwanda have focused on building accountable institutions and renewing their dignity as a nation.
According to FG News Agency Kagame added that Rwandans today are among the most optimistic and civic minded people in the world.
