President Kagame receives ICRC top officials #rwanda #RwOT

According to the Office of the President, discussions centered on the ICRC's work in Rwanda and beyond.

The ICRC has been working with the Government of Rwanda since 1963, establishing a permanent presence in the country in 1990.

The organization collaborates closely with government institutions on matters related to policy, law enforcement, and training, aiming to promote adherence to international humanitarian law.

Beyond Rwanda, the ICRC plays a key role in supporting families affected by conflict in the Great Lakes Region, especially in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)â€"an area long plagued by instability.

Rwanda currently hosts over 130,000 refugees, primarily from the DRC and Burundi, who receive continued support from international partners including the UNHCR and the ICRC, in collaboration with the Rwandan government.
