Rwanda is not reading any political significance into last week’s visit by former French president Nicolas Sarkozy, who led a delegation of investors to Kigali.
Junior minister for foreign affairs Olivier Nduhungirehe says although Mr Sarkozy met President Kagame, it should not be seen to have any political gravitas because Mr Sarkozy does not have any formal role in the current French government.
