Following the formal presentation of the credentials, Amb. Bizimana conveyed a message from Rwandan President Paul Kagame and reaffirmed Rwanda's firm commitment to strengthening the longstanding diplomatic relations between both countries.
He highlighted the growing collaboration between the two nations across various sectors, with particular emphasis on enhancing economic ties through increased trade, investment, and business partnerships, especially within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
President Diomaye Faye also expressed his appreciation for the strong and friendly relations between the two countries.
He warmly welcomed Amb. Bizimana, wished him success in his mission, and assured him of the full support of the Senegalese government during his tenure.
President Faye also requested the Ambassador to convey his cordial greetings and best wishes to President Kagame.
Rwanda opened its embassy in Senegal in May 2011. The diplomatic mission also oversees the country's interests in Cabo Verde, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Mali.
Ambassador Festus Bizimana is Rwanda's fourth envoy to Senegal, following in the footsteps of Gerard Ntwari, Mathias Harebamungu, and Jean Pierre Karabaranga.
