We are here to follow through the desires of our two great leaders.<br \/>\n\u201cThe two republics are working together in harmony and issues of infrastructure are critical in driving economic development and prosperity of our people,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nMinister Mhona noted the significance of developing the transport infrastructure, saying that it will influence regional productivity through facilitation of movement of goods and labour.<br \/>\n\u201cAs Zimbabwe we know the critical importance of transportation infrastructure in the development of our economy.<br \/>\n\u201cAs such we have embarked on an Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme Phase 2 which we are financing using domestically generated revenue.<br \/>\n\u201cAllow me also to applaud the Rwandan government for the great works in road construction and rehabilitation.<br \/>\n\u201cWe toured the various roads programmes here and we have key lessons that we have learnt and would want to implement back home,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nRwandan Minister of Infrastructure Claver Gatete said the development of transport infrastructure plays an important role in developing a country\u2019s economy.<br \/>\n\u201cCurrently, Rwanda has no railway network.<br \/>\n\u2018\u2018However, the country is working in partnership with other countries of the region to find a railway network.<br \/>\n\u201cThe railway network will contribute in lightening the country\u2019s landlocked status, thus leading to a significant reduction of transport costs,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nZimbabwe Ambassador to Rwanda Professor Charity Manyeruke, who witnessed the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, said the development was one of the fruits of economic diplomacy adopted by the Second Republic.<br \/>\nZimbabwe and Rwanda have strengthened ties in various areas since the coming in of the Second Republic, with the East African country sharing its development experiences. -TheSundayMail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
