President Faye, for his part, thanked Rwanda for the warm welcome and highlighted that his visit aims to revitalise and expand cooperation between Dakar and Kigali. He acknowledged the impressive pace of Rwanda\u2019s progress since the 1994 genocide and expressed solidarity with the Rwandan people.
