Greetings and welcome to our Annual Rwandan Genocide Commemeoration 2021.
Firstly, may I begin by acknowledging the traditional custodians of this land on which we gather today. We pay our deepest respect to the Turrbal and Jagera People, their elders past and present and those emerging.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with profound gratitude to stand here among you to remember the victims of the Rwandan genocide. I wish, first of all, to thank the government of Australia to have allowed the Rwandan community to remember all victims of Rwandan tragedy in harmony. I would like also to thank every one of you for taking this time out of your busy schedule to be with us today. Your presence here is a very significant support to the Rwandan community and it is very much appreciated, especially during this difficult time of commemoration.
