Marara was named Rwanda’s ambassador to Qatar by the cabinet meeting held on 9th April 2022 replacing François Nkulikiyimfura who was posted to France to assume similar functions.
Marara previously served as counsellor of the Rwandan High Commission in Canada since 2018.
He has also worked as an administrative assistant in different government ministries from 2009 to 2017 and for five years, he worked as the senior manager for PSI Rwanda (an international health organisation).
The 38-year old holds a Masters of Business Administration from Oklahoma University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication and Journalism.
As he presented the report on the profile of the candidate, the chairperson of the committee on foreign affairs, cooperation and security, John Bonds Bideri expressed optimism that an evaluation on Marara’s competencies proved that he has what it takes to fulfil his duties smoothly.
“We realised his competencies, skills and experience shall allow him to fulfil his duties as the new ambassador,” Bideri said.
Rwanda and Qatar enjoy cooperation agreements in the areas of education, tourism, trade and security among others.
Rwanda opened embassy in Qatar in 2019.
