The Raw Materials Congress in Poland – strengthening Rwanda–Poland cooperation in the raw materials sector

The Raw Materials Congress in Poland has become a key platform for highlighting the intensifying cooperation between Rwanda and Poland in the fields of mining and strategic raw materials.

During the event, we presented the achievements of LuNa Smelter – one of the most important players in Rwanda’s tin industry – showcasing the company’s genuine contribution to the development of modern, sustainable, and responsible metal production.

The programme also featured a presentation by Ms Barbara Akaliza from the Rwanda Mining Board, offering a comprehensive insight into Rwanda’s investment potential and the country’s long-term strategy for the development of its mining sector.

Both presentations strongly underscored the dynamic and multidimensional partnership between Rwanda and Poland – encompassing not only mining and metallurgy, but also research collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the creation of foundations for future joint initiatives.

We extend our sincere thanks to Professor Krzysztof Galos and Professor Stanisław Wołkowicz for their institutional support and their commitment to strengthening this important international cooperation.
