Rwanda’s president visits Barbados

Barbados will roll out the red carpet for President of the Republic of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, this Easter weekend.

He is scheduled to arrive at the Grantley Adams International on Good Friday, for an official one-day visit during which he is expected to engage in meetings and several activities.

On Saturday, President Kagame will pay a courtesy call on President Dame The Most Honourable Sandra Mason, and co-chair a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley.

He will also participate in a press conference, plant a tree in the National Botanical Garden and observe a road tennis match, before he leaves the island.

The visit coincides with government’s thrust to expand and deepen relations with countries in Africa. (BT)
