More and more Rwandans are using Kiswahili and it is being introduced in Rwandan schools, he said.

President Kagame updated the gathering on a recently adopted decision on the completion of the institutional reform of the African Union.

He told them that the adopted reforms will help Africa to sustainablely finance itself from its own resources.

We urgently need an African Union that has a common voice that clearly communicates its aspirations and positions of Africa, President Kagame said.
