RE: "Why Rwanda Day is such a big deal to many” (The New Times, June 13).

Rwanda Day has, over the last several years, journeyed through Europe and the Americas.

It is my firm belief that the time has now come for this journey to reach Asia.

With RwandAir having recently started direct flights between Kigali and Incredible India’s business capital of Mumbai, it is my firm belief that a Rwanda Day in Mumbai is not an impossible dream.

Through the IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry, as well as with the many other Chambers of Commerce and also with friends of Rwanda, we could definitely put together a wonderful Rwanda Day 2018 which would surely enhance trade, tourism and investments into the country while at the same time strengthening cultural ties.
