This development was confirmed by Rwanda's Presidency via its X account.
In 2021, a tripartite declaration of intent was signed between OIF, Rwanda's Ministry of Education, and the French Development Agency (AFD) to develop a national plan for teaching French in Rwanda.
This agreement marked a significant step in improving the quality of French language teaching across various levels of education, from basic schooling to higher education and vocational training, with a focus on enhancing the professional integration of young Rwandans.
Before becoming the Secretary General of the OIF in 2018, Louise Mushikiwabo served as Rwanda's Minister of Foreign Affairs.
She was re-elected for a second term in 2022 during the 18th Summit of Francophonie Heads of State in Djerba, Tunisia.
Under her leadership, the OIF has undergone reforms to address global challenges such as security threats and environmental issues. Rwanda joined OIF in 1970.
