Blair pledges support to Gov’t

GASABO - Visiting ex-British Premier Tony Blair yesterday said the country’s leadership has a great vision and reiterated his commitment to help them achieve their goals. Blair said this shortly after holding closed-door discussions with Prime Minister Bernard Makuza at the latter’s offices in Kimihurura. The former British leader, who said was delighted to be back in Rwanda, early this year took up an unpaid advisory position with government. “It is a great vision they have for Rwanda and we will carry on working with them in any way that we can,” Blair told reporters, adding that he had had good discussions with Makuza on economic development matters.
