Ambassador Aurore Mimosa presented her Letters of Credence to His Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg on Thursday, 20 March 2025, formalising her role as Rwanda's first resident ambassador in the country.
The establishment of the embassy signifies Rwanda's commitment to deepening its longstanding ties with Luxembourg.
Previously, Rwanda was represented in the country through an honorary consulate in Luxembourg City, while its embassy in Brussels, Belgium, held concurrent accreditation.
The opening of a dedicated diplomatic mission now provides a direct platform for fostering stronger bilateral trade relations and development cooperation.
With this move, Rwanda aims to enhance economic collaboration and diplomatic engagement with Luxembourg. The new embassy is expected to serve as a key hub for strengthening partnerships across various sectors.
"The opening of the Republic of Rwanda's first embassy in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg marks a significant step in Rwanda's longstanding relationship with Luxembourg," the embassy said in a statement, adding, "The embassy will focus on promoting bilateral trade relations and development."
Amb. Mimosa, who previously served as Rwanda's Minister of Sports, will be a key pillar in strengthening ties between the two nations.
