In his opening remarks, Chairman Kim said, "With the visit of the Korea Importers Association import delegation to Rwanda and the state visit of the Rwandan President to Korea during the Korea-Africa Summit to be held next month, I hope that exchanges between the two countries will become more active regarding various items including Rwanda's mineral resources."

Director Rwanyagatare emphasized, "As Rwanda is making great efforts not only to diversify its main industry of agricultural products but also to develop mineral resources, we hope that this visit by the Korea Importers Association import delegation will serve as an opportunity for a wider variety of Rwandan products to enter the Korean market."

On that day, the Rwanda Mines, Petroleum and Gas Board introduced Rwanda's major mineral resources and development resources such as tin, tungsten, and tantalum at the business forum. In particular, the Rwanda Development Board stated that during the Korea-Africa Summit, the delegation plans to visit Korea to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Korea Importers Association and expressed hope for cooperation.
