Leaders gather to boost investment, trade, and private-sector partnerships
Kigali, Rwanda, and Brazil are taking steps to strengthen their economic relationship at the Rwanda-Brazil Economic Cooperation Forum, bringing together government officials and business leaders from both countries.
The forum, organized by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and the Brazilian Exports Promotion Agency (APEX-Brazil), aims to explore opportunities in trade, investment, and private-sector collaboration.
Officials at the event highlighted that the forum is a platform to create real business partnerships. “This is a chance to connect investors, share ideas, and build practical projects that benefit both countries,” said a senior RDB representative.
Discussions focus on sectors such as agriculture, technology, energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing, areas that could support Rwanda’s economic growth and Brazil’s international trade goals.
The forum includes panels, networking sessions, and business meetings to help participants build connections and explore real deals. Experts say this shows a growing trend of South-South cooperation, where developing countries collaborate directly to support trade and economic growth.
By the end of the forum, organizers hope to sign agreements and set a roadmap for future cooperation, marking a new chapter in Rwanda-Brazil economic relations.
