President Kagame is in Canada where he is expected to join world leaders for the 44th edition of the G7 Summit which runs from 8-9 June in Québec, Canada, according to the Presidential Office.
The Summit brings together leaders and policymakers from the most advanced economies including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, to build consensus and set trends around challenging global issues.
As is the custom, the host country invites a select few non-G7 world leaders to what is referred to as ‘the Outreach Session’ where more common issues of concern are discussed. The outreach theme this year focuses on how to build healthy, productive and resilient oceans, coasts, and communities.
Outreach Leaders invited to Canada include Rwanda as the Chair of the African Union, South Africa, Kenya, Senegal, Seychelles, Haiti, Jamaica, Argentina, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Norway. Leaders of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development have also been invited.
This evening, President Kagame will attend a reception hosted by the Premier of Quebec, Philippe Couillard and attend a dinner held by Canadian Governor General, Julie Payette.
