Kagame optimistic on Commonwealth

VILLAGE URUGWIRO - President Paul Kagame is optimistic that the chances of Rwanda being admitted to the Commonwealth club next year were high. He disclosed this yesterday at Village Urugwiro while responding to a question from a journalist regarding Rwanda’s chances of being admitted to the community which brings together English speaking countries, mostly former British colonies. “The process has made a huge step towards realizing our membership request…it will be sorted out next year and we are optimistic because everything has been put in order to get our application through,” Kagame said.
