卡加梅在基加利接受五位新任外交使节递交国书
10月16日，卢旺达总统卡加梅在位于首都基加利的总统府乌鲁格维罗村，接受五位新任外交代表递交国书。递交国书是新任使节正式履职的外交程序，五人自此获认可代表各自国家和机构在卢旺达开展公务。
五位使节是：瑞典大使亨里克·尼尔松（Henrik Nilsson）、韩国大使Huh Junga、南非高级专员蒂尼科·乔治·赫伦瓦内（Tinyiko George Hlungwane）、欧盟大使热雷米·布兰（Jérémie Blin），以及毛里塔尼亚大使埃尔·侯赛因·乌尔德·纳吉（El Houssein Ould Nagi）。除毛里塔尼亚大使驻埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴兼辖卢旺达外，其余四人均驻基加利。南非驻卢大使一职自2024年末前任大使姆帕赫尔瓦离任后一直空缺，此次由赫伦瓦内补上；欧盟新任大使布兰接替卡尔沃·乌亚拉，他此前曾任法国驻布隆迪大使和法国驻卢旺达使馆临时代办。
据卢旺达媒体报道，欧盟是卢旺达的重要发展伙伴，合作涵盖经济发展、治理和教育等领域；韩国与卢旺达的合作集中在科技、数字化转型、教育和创新。本周早些时候，南非总统拉马福萨曾就卢旺达将于2030年代初举办一级方程式非洲大奖赛向卡加梅表示祝贺，南非新任高级专员到任为两国政府增添了新的沟通渠道。
Kagame Receives Credentials From Five New Envoys in Kigali
Rwandan President Paul Kagame on October 16 received letters of credence from five newly appointed diplomatic representatives at Village Urugwiro, the presidential office in Kigali, formally accrediting them to Rwanda.
The five are Henrik Nilsson, ambassador of Sweden; Huh Junga, ambassador of the Republic of Korea; Tinyiko George Hlungwane, high commissioner of South Africa; Jérémie Blin, ambassador of the European Union; and El Houssein Ould Nagi, ambassador of Mauritania, who will cover Rwanda from his base in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The other four envoys are resident in Kigali.
The South African post had been vacant since late 2024, when High Commissioner Mandisi Bongani Mabuto Mpahlwa completed a tenure that began in 2020. Blin succeeds Belén Calvo Uyarra as head of the EU delegation; he previously served as France's ambassador to Burundi and as chargé d'affaires at the French embassy in Rwanda. The European Union is one of Rwanda's key development partners, with cooperation in economic development, governance and education, while South Korea's engagement with Rwanda centres on technology, digital transformation, education and innovation. Earlier this week, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa congratulated Kagame on Rwanda's ten-year agreement to host a Formula 1 African Grand Prix from the early 2030s.
