Rwanda's President Paul Kagame has downplayed the diplomatic tiff between Kigali and Tanzania, saying that the two countries are in the East African Community to work for “one common objective”.
“I didn’t realise that things were so bad between us and Tanzania that when we talk to each other it becomes headline news. But yes, we are all in the East African Community, we work for one common objective of integration. People may have different views about different issues but at the end of the day the interests are the same. There are common objectives,” President Kagame said.
