Beijing, September 1, 2018  – Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed today met President Paul Kagame of Rwanda ahead of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation Summit (FOCAC) in Beijing, China.
“We had a very important discussion” said Prime Minister Dr Abiy after the meeting.

“The discussion focused on how to defend the interest of Africa,” he told Fana Television.

Commenting on the African Green Revolution Forum (AGRF) which will be hosted by Rwanda next week, the Premier said “the forum is very important and our ministers will attend the event.”

The forum will deliberate on ways to boost agricultural productivity in the African continent, he noted.
