President Kagame said that even though activities for the commemoration remain suspended, it should not be a hindrance to paying tribute to the million lives lost in the massacre.
Activities including the Walk to Remember procession and night vigil will not take place this year.
In January 2018, the United Nations General Assembly designated April 7 as the International Day of Reflection on 1994 Genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda.
