Rwandan Prime Minister Bernard Makuza said on Jan. 22 that Rwanda would stick to its "One China" stance.
The prime minister made the remark when he met the newly-appointed Chinese ambassador to Rwanda, Qi De'en.
The two countries enjoy friendly relations and have no problems between them at all, Makuza told the Chinese ambassador.
During the meeting, he thanked China for support in Rwanda's development in such areas as education, health and infrastructure over the years since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two nations.
Makuza also congratulated China upon the successful convocation of the Second Ministerial Conference of the Sino-Africa Forum recently in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Reiterating that Rwanda will continue to uphold its "One China" stance, he said he is looking forward to furthering the political, economic as well as trade relations between Rwanda and China.
Ambassador Qi said China was thankful for Rwanda's support in the grand cause of national reunification, stressing that despite being a developing country, China would, as always, go on supporting Rwanda in its economic construction.
