East African boost
03/06/2008
Rwanda is preparing to play host to an investment conference to encourage business developments in the East African Council (EAC), with leathergoods one of the sectors the organisers believe will prove attractive to investors.
The EAC is a trading bloc, which has Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, and Rwanda as its members.
The organisers hope to attract 700 potential investors around the world to the event, which will take place in the capital, Kigali, on June 26.
