“Getting here has taken a lot of hard work from Rwandans, picking pieces and putting them back together, but also partnerships with people who have worked with Rwanda. That is how the country has come to survive and develop to where we are today,” he said.
“We keep learning every day we are not alone in facing challenges. This drives the lesson that working together is the most important thing and collaboration is key,” added Kagame.
Talking on leadership, President Kagame said that he is present for Rwandans and with Rwandans to build something noting that when you are building something, there must be an interest in its progress and sustainability.
“The most important thing for me is not to look around and anoint somebody. We invested in education, health to be able have a pool from which there will emerge people who are capable. Not someone I have assigned, but somebody emerging in their own right,” he said.
“Bring in everyone. Stay the course. Don’t take anything for granted. Don’t be discouraged when you hit roadblocks. Just know there is a way to either go around or through. That is what I have learned. If you do this, you have a chance to succeed,” added Kagame.
