ISLAMABAD, Dec 08 (APP) — The rich aroma of Rwandan coffee filled the air at the Foreign Office Charity Bazaar, organized by the Pakistan Foreign Office Women’s Association (PFOWA) at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday. The event brought together diplomats, students, and the public to enjoy a vibrant mix of cultures, with the Rwandan coffee stall standing out as a major attraction.
Fatou Harerimana, Rwanda’s High Commissioner to Pakistan, was present at the stall, greeting guests with her warm smile and offering them cups of freshly brewed Rwandan coffee. The stall was a popular spot, with attendees regularly asking for more coffee. The High Commissioner and her team were busy serving coffee to a steady stream of visitors, while diplomats and attendees enjoyed their sips.
Speaking to APP, High Commissioner Harerimana expressed her delight at the enthusiasm with which Rwandan coffee was received. “I’m very happy with the popularity of Rwandan coffee at our stall. I didn’t realize how much the people of Pakistan would love it,” she said. She highlighted that Rwandan coffee is globally renowned, with strong demand, especially in countries like Canada and those in the Northern Hemisphere.
She also noted that Pakistan, a lively and energetic nation, had shown significant interest in the coffee, particularly among young people. “Since this morning, different groups of youth have been coming to our stall to enjoy the coffee,” she said. Harerimana revealed plans to launch a campaign in Islamabad to introduce Rwandan coffee to both the public and business sectors, acknowledging the growing fondness for the beverage in Pakistan.
In a show of support, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Muhammad Ishaq Dar, visited the Rwandan stall at the bazaar.
