On the sidelines of the two-day 2024 Africa CEO forum bringing together more than 2,500 business leaders and policymakers, in Kigali, President Paul Kagame on Thursday, May 16, received his Mozambican counterpart Filipe Nyusi of Mozambique for a discussion on ways to continue advancing the bilateral relations between Rwanda and Mozambique.

While opening the forum themed "At the table or on the menu? A critical moment to shape a new future for Africa,” Kagame made a rallying call to African business and political leaders to work closely, together, noting that the more the continent is united, the more productive its engagement with partners will become.

"The more united Africa is, the more productive our engagement with partners will become. Integration, for Africa’s business community, is an opportunity to grow our markets, and become more competitive. Africa does not have to ask for a seat at the table,” Kagame said.
