This initiative demonstrates how Rwanda continues to advance its vision of national excellence and sovereign integrity.
Protecting National Development Progress
As Rwanda continues to emerge as a leader in African innovation and development, with remarkable achievements in digital transformation, these security measures are crucial for protecting the nation's progress. The designated individuals span multiple continents, indicating the global scope of Rwanda's anti-terrorism efforts.
Key Security Measures Implemented
