01:56 We have waited a long time to see this vision become a reality.
02:14 So I congratulate everyone involved for this first step,
02:20 and look forward to working with you to see it to completion.
02:28 [APPLAUSE]
02:31 There is a story here.
02:32 The previous-- long ago, the administration then
02:42 promised some people here in Uyghurstan iron sheets.
02:50 And decades passed, and the government
02:58 left without delivering iron sheets to those people.
03:03 So there has always been a saying,
03:05 for anything that delays for too long and not delivered,
03:10 they always say it is like the iron sheets that
03:16 were promised by that administration to the people
03:20 and who never got them.
03:24 So now this airport is not going to be like the iron sheets.
03:28 [APPLAUSE]
03:31 We are as determined as you are to see this airport completed
03:42 and operational.
03:44 [APPLAUSE]
03:48 The Wudersera International Airport
03:50 is an important part of Rwanda's strategy
03:55 for socioeconomic transformation.
03:59 It is key to our ambitions to grow tourism and trade
04:05 and develop our aviation, finance, and IT sectors.
04:13 We also see this facility as an essential component
04:19 in strengthening economic integration of our region
04:26 and boosting intra-Africa trade, investment, and business.
04:34 Rwandans to whom we are ultimately accountable
04:38 are now used to having high expectations,
04:45 and they trust us to deliver on this promise.
04:49 So this is not going to be any different.
04:53 So I wish you all the best in your different endeavors.
04:56 Thank you.
