Rwanda's 31st Liberation Anniversary marked in Luxembourg with reflections on progress and unity #rwanda #RwOT

In her remarks, she reflected on the country's journey since the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, describing Liberation Day celebrated on July 4, as a turning point that ushered in a new era of unity, dignity, and national renewal.

She underscored the decisive role played by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (FPR), under the leadership of President Paul Kagame, in ending the genocide and laying the foundation for Rwanda's rebirth. Munyangaju reminded attendees that liberation was not a one-time event, but the beginning of a long process of reconciliation, resilience, and nation-building.

Since then, Rwanda has made significant strides, emerging as one of the most stable and forward-looking countries on the continent. The Ambassador noted that the country had established itself as an international financial hub, attracting partnerships and investments while advancing in areas such as business, education, logistics, and innovation, particularly in health and digital technologies.

She also pointed to Rwanda's growing international presence, highlighting major upcoming events such as the 2025 UCI World Cycling Championships, which Rwanda was set to host in September, the first time an African country would organize the event since its inception in 1921.

In addition, Munyangaju spoke about Kwita Izina, the annual baby gorilla naming ceremony, describing it as a powerful symbol of Rwanda's commitment to environmental conservation. The event, she noted, had become a global platform that attracted scientists, artists, and policymakers in support of biodiversity protection.

As the country marked 31 years since its liberation, the Ambassador emphasized the importance of safeguarding Rwanda's achievements and passing on a legacy of peace and unity to future generations.

She also expressed gratitude to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for its continued support, underlining the value of solidarity and international cooperation.

The ceremony concluded on a hopeful note, with a collective call to continue building a modern, inclusive Rwanda rooted in the principles of reconciliation and shared national identity.
