Rwanda’s Prime Minister Dr. Justin Nsengiyumva met Wednesday with a delegation from China’s Silk Road Fund, led by Director Zhu Jun, to explore potential investment opportunities in the country.
Discussions focused on key sectors including health, energy, education, and agriculture, as both sides sought to strengthen economic cooperation and support Rwanda’s development plans.
The delegation also met with Finance and Economic Planning Minister Yusuf Murangwa to review investment prospects in energy, infrastructure, technology, manufacturing, and agriculture, with an emphasis on sustainable growth. They later held talks with the Rwanda Development Board to identify mutually beneficial opportunities and reinforce investment collaboration.
Established in 2014, the Silk Road Fund is a Chinese state-owned fund supporting projects under the Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to develop infrastructure globally.
China remains Rwanda’s largest foreign investor. In 2024, the Rwanda Development Board reported foreign investments totaling $3.2 billion, with China contributing $460 million (14.1%), followed by India with $445.1 million, the United States with $442.3 million, and Nigeria with $313 million.
