Nuclear Technology is New Territory for Rwanda— Russian Expertise is Critical: FM
Rwanda believes nuclear energy can provide the power needed for industrialization, agriculture, research and healthcare, Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe told Sputnik Africa.
In 2019, on the sidelines of the first Russia-Africa Summit, Rwanda and Russia signed an agreement to establish a nuclear science and technology center.
According to Nduhungirehe, the center is expected to benefit several sectors of Rwanda’s economy, including industry, agriculture, healthcare and research.
The top diplomat stressed that Russian expertise and continued support are critical to the project, as nuclear technology is a new field for Rwanda.
