Chinese support to Rwanda
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.
China subsequently expanded its support to Rwanda under the auspices of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.
From 2000 to 2011, there were approximately 56 Chinese official development finance projects identified in Rwanda through various media reports. These projects range from a US$160 million debt cancellation in 2007, to financing the construction and operationalization of the cement factory (CIMERWA) at Bugarama in 2009, and an interest-free, 219 million RMB loan for the rehabilitation of the Kigali road network in 2009.
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.
