Rwandan President Paul Kagame of the Republic of Rwanda yesterday inaugurated his country’s pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, kicking off a six-month World Expo experience taking visitors on a virtual gorilla trekking experience, showcasing Rwanda’s conservation efforts and offering Rwandan coffee at Café Rwanda.

Drummers and dancers performed a lively traditional dance at the inauguration, which was also attended by a delegation that included Emmanuel Hategeka, Ambassador of Rwanda to the UAE, and Yves Iradukunda, Rwanda’s Commissioner-General for Expo 2020 Dubai.
