Rwanda is ready to tap potential from the Commonwealth Business Forum.The forum that has attracted 1,000 participants allover the world is part of the events, a head of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (Chogm) in Kampala over the weekend. The meeting is structured around plenary sessions on key themes arising from globalised trade and investment.John Bosco Kalisa, the director in charge of trade and regional integration in the Rwanda Private Sector Federation thus said, “I strongly believe the investment flow in Rwanda in a few years will be enormous as it joins the Commonwealth.”Rwanda was invited to attend the forum, yet the country is not a member of the Commonwealth.Apparently, the forum is concentrating on new opportunities for investment partnerships across different regions within and outside the Commonwealth countries. It will also highlight East Africa’s advantages, opportunities, and position as a trade and investment hub.Efforts to help remove trade barriers, mobilise investment into Commonwealth countries, foster a good environment for business and investment and promote good practise in co-corporate governance are high on the agenda.The meeting was organised by the Commonwealth Business Council (CBC) in collaboration with the Government of Uganda and Private Sector Foundation- Uganda.
