A release sent to Prensa Latina by the ECA stated that the two-day event was also sponsored by the Rwandan Trade and Industry Ministry and brought together government institutions, representatives from the private sector, and academicians.

The meeting fostered stakeholder understanding on nuclear industrial localization and paved the way for a National Action Plan aligned with Kigali’s ambitions in that sector and its broader agenda.

RAEB Chief Executive Officer Fidele Ndahayo stated that his country’s interest in nuclear energy extends beyond electricity generation.

Ndahayo affirmed that a nuclear energy program involves developing national capacity, strengthening industries, improving skills, and transforming the economy.

He acknowledged the ECA’s technical and financial support, noting that industrial localization must be a fundamental pillar of Rwanda’s strategy.
