"As I take my office here in Rwanda, I have to make sure that the two states enjoy good relationship which will enable us to focus on development activities," he added.

The relationship continues to be sour as the Rwandan governmentstill accuses their former master of de-campaigning the achievements so far registered under the leadership of President Paul Kagame mainly in the United Nations where France has a big voice.
