Bilateral relations between Rwanda and Turkey are strong and growing, says Richard Sezibera on visit to capital Ankara
Cooperation between Turkey and the east African nation of Rwanda is growing and has strong potential, according to Rwanda’s foreign minister. In an exclusive interview with Anadolu Agency on Tuesday, Richard Sezibera said he had signed agreements with Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, his Turkish counterpart, to strengthen relations between the two countries.
On a two-day visit to Turkey, Sezibera took part in the Rwanda Renaissance Seminar organized by the Institute of Strategic Thinking in the capital Ankara. “Relations between Rwanda and Turkey are good, strong and growing, and in the business sector, we have more than 22 Turkish companies currently investing in Rwanda,” he said. “One of the companies invested around $400 million.”
“I have met [with representatives of] the private sector and had very positive discussions with potential investors from Turkey,” Sezibera said. “Yesterday, I had the privilege of drinking Rwandan coffee imported by a Turkish businessman here in Ankara.” The Rwandan market is open for business in manufacturing, textiles, leather, construction, and furniture, he explained.
