Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The Rwandan community in Ghana, on July 29, marked the 28th Liberation Day celebrations that were held in light of the progress Rwanda has made to improve the lives of its people.<\/p>\n

Liberation Day is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the bravery and selflessness of RPF-Inkotanyi, under the visionary leadership and command of President Paul Kagame, who fought tirelessly to liberate Rwanda and stop the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was attended by different dignitaries including Amb. Perpetua Ofori Dufu, who represented Ghana\u2019s Foreign Affairs Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Ghana\u2019s Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mark Okraku-Mantey, Ghana\u2019s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Vice Admiral Seth Amoama, Members of the diplomatic corps, among others.<\/p>\n

In her address, Rwanda\u2019s High Commissioner to Ghana, Aissa Kacyira, commended the impact liberation has had on Rwandans and how far Rwanda has come as a nation, restoring Rwanda\u2019s dignity and offering security and hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attainment of our Liberation marked the beginning and rebirth of a new Rwanda where all Rwandans have a place to call home. We all have a voice that is valued and are dignified members of our society and the global community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Amb. Perpetua Ofori Dufu, who represented Ghana\u2019s Foreign Affairs Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey speaks at the event.<\/b><\/p>\n

Beyond having a voice, Rwandans as part of this liberation journey, have continued to have inclusively improved livelihoods in tangible ways, she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the fractured and traumatic history, we chose to unite, reconcile and rebuild our nation with a common vision and strive to think big.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kacyira reiterated that the values that underpinned Rwanda\u2019s liberation continue to define everything Rwanda does, including its international relations and foreign policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this regard, Rwanda opened its borders easing access and travel, and plays an active role in the establishment of AfCFTA (African Continental Free Trade Area) and implementation of intra-African trade,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

In the same spirit, she noted with appreciation the Pan-African partnership amongst Ghana, Senegal and Rwanda in vaccine production with the strong collaboration and leadership of the three Heads-of-State which she said will enhance Africa\u2019s resilience and self-reliance in health.<\/p>\n

Dufu recognised Liberation Day as the beginning of a transformational journey for Rwanda.<\/p>\n

\u201cRwanda has established itself as a proud and ambitious African country committed to excellence and prosperity while fulfilling the aspirations of its people in a modern and competitive world,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She also commended the strong cooperation between the two countries which continues to grow with the latest engagement of signing a Memorandum of Understanding between the Parliaments of Ghana and Rwanda.<\/p>\n
