The former CEO of Credit Suisse, Tidjane Thiam, is part of the official delegation accompanying President Emmanuel Macron to Kigali on 27 May, alongside a few ministers and hand-picked business leaders. The Franco-Ivorian financier Tidjane Thiam took off from Paris for Kigali last night as part of the delegation accompanying President Emmanuel Macron to Rwanda. The banker is also expected to follow the French head of state to South Africa the next day, on 28 May. Thiam has been invited in his capacity as the African Union's Special Envoy for Covid-19 (AI, 24/04/20), as the epidemic and its impact on the economy of both countries is at the heart of Macron's visit.
