During the 2025 Future Investment Initiative (FII) held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, President Paul Kagame joined fellow heads of state from Guyana, Colombia, Bulgaria, and Albania in a high-level panel titled “What Are the Real Costs and Benefits of Economic Security?”. The discussion focused on how global cooperation and fair trade practices can unlock sustainable development for emerging economy.
President Kagame stressed the need to recalibrate international trade systems, advocating for models that promote freedom, equity, and long-term resilience. He argued that developing countries must be empowered through partnerships that respect their sovereignty and potential.
“We must create systems that open pathways to inclusive and sustainable development,” Kagame said, urging reforms that go beyond short-term gains.
