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.

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.
