Rwanda celebrated its National Heroes Day yesterday, honoring the principles of patriotism and unity that have fueled its remarkable recovery since the 1990s. In an exclusive interview with NewspaperAmigo.com, Rwandan Ambassador to China James Kimonyo drew parallels between his nation’s values and its growing partnership with Beijing.
💡 "Heroism here means service to the people," Kimonyo emphasized, highlighting how Rwanda’s focus on reconciliation and inclusive development mirrors China’s emphasis on collective progress. With youth exchanges and tech education programs booming between the two countries, he added: "Our young people aren’t just learning skills—they’re building bridges."
🌱 As over 60% of Rwanda’s population is under 25, the ambassador stressed that empowering this generation through cross-cultural collaboration is key to sustaining peace and innovation. From joint agricultural projects to digital infrastructure investments, the Rwanda-China partnership is proving that shared values can translate into tangible growth.
