The Rwandan President, Paul Kagame received in Washington a delegation of members of the US Congressional Black Caucus led by Steven Horsford, the first African American to represent Nevada State in Congress.
“They had an engaging discussion on the potential for partnership between The Black Caucus and Rwanda”, according to the Rwandan State House through X.
The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is a caucus made up of African-American members of the United States Congress.
President Kagame also met with former Governor of South Carolina and former World Food Programme Executive Director David Beasley and Congressman John James, the first Black Republican elected to Congress in the state of Michigan.
Since its establishment in 1971, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has been committed to using the full Constitutional power, statutory authority, and financial resources of the federal government to ensure that African Americans and other marginalized communities in the United States have the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.
President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame are in Washington, D.C. to attend the National Prayer Breakfast and join over 4,000 Rwandans and Friends of Rwanda for the eleventh edition of Rwanda Day.
Rwanda and the United States enjoy a solid relationship. Both countries foster an active partnership in development cooperation, public health, climate change, trade and investments.
