President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame are in Washington, D.C. where they will attend the National Prayer Breakfast and join over 4,000 Rwandans and Friends of Rwanda for the eleventh edition of Rwanda Day.

On Thursday morning, the President and First Lady will join around 3,000 guests including US Cabinet members, US Congress members, the diplomatic corps in Washington, UN diplomats, as well as US and foreign business leaders, for the National Prayer Breakfast, an annual event held in Washington, D.C. convening the political, social, and business leaders to assemble and pray together.
