Assuring the ICC of the Rwandan Embassy’s support, Amb. Kimonyo expressed his readiness to assist investors in meeting their requirements. The ICC reciprocated the interest, expressing a desire to invest in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, building industry parks, mining, agro-processing, and direct trade of tea and coffee from Rwanda.
