President Kagame: The problem of anxiety by the west relating to China’s involvement in Africa has more to do with the west than with Africa. The competition between the US & the industrialized world with China finds Africa caught between China and the West. #MIGlobal
President Kagame: Africa has its own needs and interests whether you want to see it that way or not. #MIGlobal
President Kagame on the concern over the China debt trap: Africa has not had debt from China only. Debt forgiveness was there because there was debt. The question is what has Africa been doing with this debt. #MIGlobal
President Kagame: Saying we are worried Africa will be trapped in debt with China, sounds like concern for Africa by outsiders rather than Africa being concerned for its own well being. #MIGlobal
President Kagame on the claim that China is sponsoring corruption in Africa: The assumption here is that corruption is confined to China and Africa, and that the west does not get involved in corruption, which is not true. #MIGlobal
President Kagame: Nobody should give an excuse for corruption, it should be fought wherever it comes from and that is what we have been trying to do in our countries and in other African countries. #MIGlobal
President Kagame: Nobody should give an excuse for corruption, it should be fought wherever it comes from and that is what we have been trying to do in our countries and in other African countries. #MIGlobal
President Kagame: Africa, my own country, look to the west as partners of choice, or investors of choice in Africa. If the west was doing investments that are required in Africa the way they should be, then Africa will stop being caught in this trap or competition. #MIGlobal
