UK-Rwanda Partnership

Proceeding contribution from James Cleverly (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 December 2023. It occurred during Ministerial statement on UK-Rwanda Partnership.

My hon. Friend asks an incredibly important question. I have recently returned from Rwanda. I have had extensive dealings with the Rwandan Government—a Commonwealth partner, as she said. It is a country whose political leadership in many, perhaps most, cases have themselves been refugees. They have

huge pride in their country and a plan to see it genuinely step up and be a serious player on the world stage. This partnership with the UK is part of Rwanda’s plan for development and advancement. We should support countries such as Rwanda, which are seeking to solve the world’s problems rather than being part of the world’s problems.
