Kagame seeks Caribbean trade and investment partnerships
Rwandan president met leaders from four Caribbean nations on the sidelines of the Commonwealth summit.
President Paul Kagame met leaders from four Caribbean nations to explore expanding Rwanda's cooperation in trade, investment, and tourism. The discussions occurred on November 2 and 3 in Antigua and Barbuda during the 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
Kagame discussed strengthening cooperation in health, defence, and tourism with Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness. He also met with Prime Ministers Gaston Browne of Antigua and Barbuda, Philip Davis of the Bahamas, and Godwin Friday of St Vincent and the Grenadines to discuss bilateral relations and economic cooperation.
No specific agreements or investment commitments were announced from these Caribbean meetings. Kagame also used the summit to challenge perceptions that investing in developing economies carries greater risks than in developed markets.
