The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, extends his warmest congratulations to the Government and people of the Republic of Rwanda on the occasion of the anniversary of their independence.

This important day marks a defining moment in Rwanda’s history - a moment that reflects the enduring spirit, courage, and resilience of its people in their pursuit of freedom, dignity, and national sovereignty. It is also a time to honour Rwanda’s journey of renewal and its remarkable strides in development, innovation, and unity.

The African Union remains committed to supporting the Republic of Rwanda in its efforts to consolidate democratic governance, promote national unity, and foster socio-economic transformation for the benefit of all its citizens.

May Rwanda continue to shine as an example of Africa’s potential. Let us all draw inspiration from its story as we work toward a peaceful, prosperous, and integrated Africa.

Happy Independence Day, Rwanda!
