Rwanda’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation recently welcomed H.E. Jeanne Crauser, the non-resident Ambassador of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to Kigali, in a meeting that reaffirmed the two countries’ commitment to strengthened bilateral relations.

Nduhungirehe hosted the ambassador, and the pair engaged in a thoughtful exchange aimed at deepening cooperation across diplomacy, development, and trade.

Luxembourg and Rwanda cooperate in capacity-building efforts, notably through a 2024 memorandum of understanding that backed Kigali’s International Financial Centre for sustainable finance and fintech initiatives.

The exchange between Nduhungirehe and Crauser took place against the backdrop of Luxembourg’s broader engagement in Rwanda.

In March 2025, Rwanda formally opened its first resident embassy in Luxembourg, with Ambassador Aurore Mimosa presenting credentials to the Hereditary Grand Duke.

The gesture underscored Kigali’s proactive approach to diplomacy and signaled intent to nurture deeper economic and political ties.

A double taxation avoidance agreement, in effect since 2021, has paved the way for smoother cross-border investments and encouraged Luxembourg-based businesses and diaspora investors to engage confidently in Rwandan markets.

The two countries stock exchanges have also collaborated on sustainable finance through a memorandum aimed at building market innovation and capacity.

This diplomatic engagement demonstrates an evolving partnership marked by strategic alignment and practical progress.

As Rwanda and Luxembourg continue to exchange skills, investments, and governance models, their collaboration stands as a model of South–North synergy built on trust, shared goals, and mutual respect.
