The White House says Rwandan President Paul Kagame will visit President Bush on April 15.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said in a statement Friday, Mr. Bush looks forward to discussing efforts to improve stability in Africa's troubled Great Lakes region as well as Rwanda's peacekeeping efforts in Sudan.
The Great Lakes region - which includes such countries as Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda - has been the scene of several wars and ethnic conflicts over the last decade.
Last year, Rwanda contributed troops to an African Union force to help stop a separate ethnic conflict in Sudan's western Darfur region.
Mr. McClellan said the two presidents will also discuss democracy and reconciliation issues in Rwanda as well as bilateral trade initiatives.
