She said, "The leading innovations that Israel has are in the areas of health, agriculture, and many others, and we look forward to borrowing some of these innovations that transform our country and citizens." "Israel is also known for its quality skills in the technology and innovation sector, and under this agreement, we will build the much-needed skills in this sector," Ingabire added. According to Ingabire, the agreement will promote other areas as well with time. "This is the beginning of the many other partnerships that we are going to see happening between Israel and Rwanda. As we get into this partnership, we will continue to scope out some of the capabilities that are needed within our industry and find ways that we can strengthen and build them further," she highlighted. Yoaz Hendel, Israel’s Minister of Communication, hailed the agreement and noted that 'Israel' is delighted to share best technological practices with Rwanda. "Both our nations not only share the same values but also the desire for technologies and understanding that technology can improve lives. I believe Rwanda has the potential to become the Start Up Nation of Africa and a Start Up Nation for the Globe. This MoU is a path for both sides to learn from each other and collaborate, " said Hendel. In 2019, 'Israel' officially opened its embassy in Kigali, capital of Rwanda, with the aim to further strengthen bilateral ties.
