This meeting was part of his official visit to Brazzaville, which included a series of other engagements.
'Amb. Bazivamo, after conveying the greetings of the Chairman of the RPF Inkotanyi, His Excellency President Paul Kagame, who wished them good health and prosperity in their endeavors, presented Rwanda's national development agenda. He also took the opportunity to remind them that, as Rwandans, they should actively contribute to these efforts,' reads a statement from RPF Inkotanyi shared on X account.
Amb. Bazivamo reminded the Rwandans that Rwanda, their homeland, fully supports them in their development endeavors and that the country stands ready to assist them in every possible way.
He also encouraged the Rwandan community to uphold core Rwandan values, particularly the principles of unity, collaboration, and integrity.
Amb. Bazivamo also extended his heartfelt wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year in 2026 to all those present.
Amb. Bazivamo is currently in Congo, where he was invited to attend the sixth congress of the ruling political party, Parti Congolais du Travail (PCT).
He noted that both PCT and the RPF Inkotanyi share similar governance principles based on inclusivity and citizen welfare. He emphasized the strong desire of the RPF Inkotanyi to further strengthen its relationship with PCT and to enhance cooperation between Rwanda and Congo.
The two countries have long enjoyed diplomatic and political relations. Rwanda opened its embassy in Congo-Brazzaville in August 2016.
In 2011, Rwanda and Congo-Brazzaville signed several agreements in key sectors such as aviation, tourism, energy, security, justice, environmental protection and fisheries.
In 2023, President Denis Sassou Nguesso of Congo-Brazzaville visited Rwanda, significantly boosting bilateral relations between the two countries.
The visit occurred a few hours after Congo-Brazzaville had granted Rwandans visa-free access. This visit also resulted in the signing of eight additional cooperation agreements, bringing the total number of agreements between the two nations to 33, following the signing of 25 agreements during President Kagame's visit to Congo-Brazzaville in April 2022.
