President Paul Kagame attended the second Nuclear Energy Summit in Paris, joining leaders from around the world, officials from international organizations, and heads of financial institutions.
The summit focused on the future use of nuclear energy for civilian purposes and its potential role in advancing national energy and economic development.
Rwanda has committed to promoting nuclear energy and aims to become a leading country in this field on the African continent.
The president’s participation comes shortly after an assessment by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Rwanda’s readiness to develop a nuclear power plant. The evaluation, which began on March 2 and concluded on March 9, 2026, examined whether Rwanda meets the requirements for establishing a nuclear facility.
To harness nuclear energy, Rwanda plans to build a small nuclear power plant by 2030, increasing the country’s electricity supply and developing local expertise, aiming to train at least 300 nuclear energy specialists by that time.
Currently, South Africa is the only African country with an operational nuclear power plant, while Egypt and Rwanda are among the nations developing projects in this sector.
President Kagame’s attendance at the summit reflects Rwanda’s ambition to advance its energy sector and integrate nuclear power as a key component of its long-term development strategy.
