A five member delegation of the US Congress is scheduled to visit the country on Monday.

According to a Thursday communiqué from the Public Affairs Section of the American Embassy in Kigali, the delegation will include; Gregory Meeks, Hank Johnson, Melvin Watt, Jack Kingston and Sheila Jackson Lee.

"While in Rwanda, the delegation will meet with various members of the Rwandan government and visit several development projects funded by the U.S. Government,” reads part of the communiqué.

"On Tuesday morning, the delegation will visit the Kigali University Hospital (CHUK), where they will get a chance to see various projects at the hospital, including those funded by PEPFAR, CDC and other U.S. Government programmes.”

While visiting the country earlier in June, US Senator James Inhofe said the US and Rwanda are determined to strengthen cooperation in different areas of development.

Inhofe had led a three-person delegation of the US Congress on a two-day visit in the country. 

"We help Rwanda but Rwanda helps us too. We are doing things together that some other countries are not willing to do – we are partners,” Inhofe told reporters in June.
