On Thursday, July 30, President Paul Kagame welcomed a bipartisan U.S. Congressional delegation led by Representative Brett Guthrie at Urugwiro Village, Rwanda. The delegation, comprising Representatives Troy Carter, Morgan Griffith, Russ Fulcher, Jay Obernolte, Cliff Bentz, Craig Goldman, and Julie Fedorchak, met to discuss Rwanda's development journey and explore opportunities for enhanced bilateral cooperation.
Key areas of focus included health, energy, and investment opportunities. This visit follows the signing of a five-year, $228 million bilateral health cooperation agreement in December 2025, aimed at strengthening Rwanda's health system and addressing diseases like HIV/AIDS and malaria. Additionally, in May, both nations signed an MoU on Strategic Civil Nuclear Cooperation, focusing on peaceful nuclear energy development and long-term energy security partnerships.
The delegation, representing various committees within the U.S. House of Representatives, including the influential House Energy and Commerce Committee, is examining areas where Rwanda and the U.S. can deepen their cooperation as Rwanda continues its development efforts.
