The two leaders held bilateral talks, after which Kagame was hosted to a special luncheon.
Addressing to 2,500 Rwandans from across West Europe on Dec.5, President Kagame told the gathering that Rwanda belongs to all of them.
What everyone seeks is a Rwanda for Rwandans, not for Tutsis, or Hutus or Twas or even foreigners, but for Rwandans, the statement said, stressing the national unity.
Since January 2009, the Belgian government has committed to release 38.12 million euros to Rwanda, as part of the two countries’ development cooperation framework covering health, agriculture and good governance.
