Editor, Refer to the story, “European feet walk in Rwandan shoes” (Sunday Times, August 10) I thank The New Times for this very exciting and impressive stuff. Development of local industries is the way forward. This can be fast-tracked through public/private partnership ventures. The Government of Rwanda should be commended for supporting these initiatives but more could be achieved. Gerald, Rwanda ********************* Good to know that someone went to the expo and returned with this inspiring report; thanks a lot. I love the image of European feet walking in Rwandan shoes and the irony it carries. It means, as a country, Rwanda can indeed make something and sell abroad to reduce our overdependence on imports. I thank the Ministry of Trade and Industry for such innovations. Joel, Rwanda
