Rwanda is set to host members of the Commonwealth at the 26th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). It is the first to be held in Africa in over a decade.
The 26th CHOGM will be held in Kigali between June 20 and 26, under the theme ‘Delivering a Common Future: Connecting, Innovating, Transforming.’
Rwanda’s president, Paul Kagame, while announcing the new date for the meeting, said Rwanda is pleased to welcome all delegates and participants to Kigali for a safe and productive CHOGM Rwanda 2022.
“The last two years have made it clear to us that we are more connected than ever before and we must work together to achieve the tangible and sustainable results we want,” he said.
He added that the long-awaited meeting will be an important occasion to come together to address the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to build on innovative technological and economic opportunities to solve other key problems facing citizens.
CHOGM was due to take place in Kigali in June 2020 but was postponed twice due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is the Commonwealth’s highest consultative and policymaking gathering. Rwanda was selected, in the last meeting in London, to host the next CHOGM.
The Green City Kigali will be one projects presented with an Exhibition Booth. Our Exhibition booth will showcase the project to increase international visibility and attract partners to make Rwanda’s first Green City a reality.
