Chinese support to Rwanda
[edit]Following the Rwandan genocide, China provided Rwanda with $20 million in financial aid, $10 million worth of humanitarian relief, and dispatched medical teams to assist in local relief efforts in Rwanda.[2]: 112
China subsequently expanded its support to Rwanda under the auspices of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.[2]: 112
From 2000 to 2011, there were approximately 56 Chinese official development finance projects identified in Rwanda through various media reports.[3] These projects range from a US$160 million debt cancellation in 2007,[4] to financing the construction and operationalization of the cement factory (CIMERWA) at Bugarama in 2009,[5] and an interest-free, 219 million RMB loan for the rehabilitation of the Kigali road network in 2009.[6]
In 2012, Rwandan President Paul Kagame stated that China's investment in African infrastructure meets the needs of Africa and has been well received by governments and private enterprises.[2]: 113
