According to the ambassador, Turkey is exploring new opportunities for cooperation with Rwanda in the financial sector as the country strives to become a financial hub for Africa, with the Kigali International Financial Center (KIFC).

And, she added, the Council for External Economic Relations of Turkey (DEİK) and Rwanda Finance Ltd, the company that promotes KIFC, took an important step by hosting a webinar on June 2 to discuss various possibilities of cooperation.

“The favorable business environment, political stability, adherence to the rule of law and the existence of strong institutions has aroused Turkey’s interest in recent years,” said the ambassador.
