The meeting took place in Musanze District.
Major General Kagame engaged with the reservists to listen to their concerns and update them on national security matters as well as ongoing government programs.He acknowledged that while projects specifically dedicated to reservists are still limited, efforts are being made to distribute available opportunities fairly among eligible members. He encouraged the reservists to organize themselves into cooperatives to facilitate access to support and to take initiative in creating income-generating activities, rather than waiting for government programs.
Major General Kagame also reminded the reservists to maintain discipline and integrity within their communities, refrain from spreading misinformation on social media, and uphold the confidentiality of military affairs. He concluded by reaffirming that Rwanda remains peaceful and secure, emphasizing that patriotism and the defense of national sovereignty are responsibilities shared by all citizens.
