While on a working visit to the United States, Prime Minister Dr. Justin Nsengiyumva met with Rwandan professionals serving in multilateral institutions in Washington, D.C., to discuss the country’s development priorities and explore ways they can actively contribute to Rwanda’s progress.
The meeting served as a platform for the Prime Minister to highlight the government’s long-term strategies aimed at accelerating socio-economic transformation, strengthening innovation, and promoting sustainability across sectors.
He encouraged participants to leverage their global experience, networks, and technical expertise to help drive Rwanda’s growth agenda at both national and international levels.
Dr. Nsengiyumva emphasized that Rwanda’s development journey is anchored in collective responsibility and partnership, noting that the contribution of skilled Rwandans abroad plays a vital role in shaping the country’s future.
“Every Rwandan, regardless of where they are, remains an important part of our national story. The knowledge and experience gained globally can help us innovate faster and build a stronger economy,” he said.
The Prime Minister’s engagement with Rwandan professionals came as part of a broader official visit to the United States, where he also participated in high-level discussions focused on energy, conservation, and sustainable development.
Earlier during his trip, Nsengiyumva represented President Paul Kagame at the 2025 ICCF U.S. Congressional International Conservation Leadership Gala, where he underscored Rwanda’s achievements in environmental protection and community-led conservation.
He also held talks with senior U.S. officials, including Energy Secretary Chris Wright, to explore deeper cooperation in nuclear energy, natural gas, and critical mineral development.
His meetings with philanthropist Rob Walton and U.S. Senator Chris Coons further reaffirmed Rwanda’s commitment to advancing environmental sustainability and strengthening its partnerships with the United States.
The Prime Minister concluded his engagements by expressing appreciation for the Rwandan diaspora professionals contributing to global institutions, calling their role “a bridge between Rwanda’s ambitions and the opportunities the world offers.”
