Amb Marie Chantal Rwakazina on Thursday, December 10, presented her Letters of Credence to Hereditary Prince Alois of Liechtenstein.

This allows her to represent Rwanda as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Rwanda to the Principality of Liechtenstein with residence in Geneva, Switzerland.

According to a statement, the Ambassador and the Prince had an exchange on socio-economic contexts of Rwanda and the Principality of Liechtenstein and on the additional areas of focus for the bilateral relations. 

Economically, Liechtenstein has one of the highest gross domestic products per person in the world with a strong financial sector.

Prior to the presentation of the Letters of Credence, the Ambassador paid a courtesy call on the Secretary of State for Foreign Office, Katrin Eggenberger. 

During this meeting, discussions focused on aspects aimed at further strengthening existing bilateral relations, including a visit to Rwanda by Liechtenstein officials, diversification of partnerships in finances and engagement in multilateralism.
