Chinese President Xi Jinping will arrive in Rwanda on July 22 for a two-day state visit, during which he is expected to sign a number of agreements on trade, investment, infrastructure and defence.

President Xi’s visit could help secure funding for key roads, and the expansion of the national carrier RwandAir.
