She highlighted how collective leadership and targeted support for women entrepreneurs can unlock new opportunities for business and trade.
Speaking to an audience of chamber presidents and business leaders, she underlined the pivotal role women chambers play in advancing economic development, entrepreneurship and cross-border trade. Amb. Harerimana argued that women-led initiatives create resilient value chains and spur inclusive economic activity, making a direct contribution to national growth goals.
She outlined practical ways to strengthen Rwanda–Pakistan relations through increased women led trade, including partnerships that promote women entrepreneurs, capacity building, and sector-focused engagement. Emphasising women’s participation as a catalyst for sustainable development, she said inclusive engagement will accelerate the economic transformation both countries are pursuing.
To encourage deeper commercial ties, Amb. Harerimana invited women investors with an interest in coffee to attend the Rwanda Coffee Festival on 29 January 2026, highlighting the event as a platform for networking, investment and trade linkages that can benefit Pakistani and Rwandan businesses alike.
