KIGALI, July 22 -- The Rwanda-China relationship has grown stronger and the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative has promoted development worldwide, including Africa, and achieved win-win outcomes, Rwandan President Paul Kagame said in a recent interview.
China has actively participated in infrastructure construction in East Africa, especially in key projects such as the standard gauge railways, highways and power plants, which has benefited Rwanda, Kagame said in an interview with Chinese media ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to the African country.
Kagame said the Rwanda-China relationship has grown stronger with bilateral cooperation yielding fruitful results in such areas as infrastructure construction, health, education and agriculture.
Governing China, a country with a large population, is quite challenging, Kagame said, adding that he was impressed that China had achieved rapid development despite all the challenges.
According to data from the World Bank, Rwanda's economy has been growing rapidly from since over a decade ago and poverty has been rapidly reduced.
On average, the country's GDP has been growing circa 8 percent every year between 2001 to 2017.
Kagame attributed Rwanda's development to the people's active participation in the country's construction and the government's good management of resources.
Rwanda has learnt from other countries, including China, and chosen its own development path, he said.
