Conclusions
Rwanda is a non western country according to the culture.

England receives economic benefits of Rwanda, because this

country is a major producer of diamonds and coltan, this is one
of the reasons that Rwanda entered the commonwealt and still
manriene in Comenter despite some violations on the
principles of this community. Likewise England gives political
and social stability and economic support to Rwanda to
increase its internal development.
England does not suit you stop doing that Rwanda
commonwealt part because this country gives greater power
against the Western powers, which are also interesadad in
Rwanda, like Russia and France.
Also it can be concluded, as the relationship that occurs
between these two countries is a Western country (England)
and one non-Western (Rwanda) a relationship of mutuality is

inglaterra recibe beneficios economicos de ruanda, ya que este pais

es un gran productor de diamantes y de coltan, esta es una de las
razones por la que ruanda entro al commonwealt y aun se manriene
en el a pesar de comenter algunas violaciones en los principios de
esta comunidad. Asi mismo inglaterra le brinda estabilidad politica
y social y soporte economico a ruanda para que aumente su
desarrollo interno.
A inglaterra no le conviene que ruanda deje de hacer parte del
commonwealt, ya que este pais le brinda mayor poder frente a las
potencias occidentales, las cuales tambien estan interesadad en
ruanda, como Rusia o Francia.
Tambien se puede concluir, como la relacion que se presenta entre
estos dos paises es de un pais occidental (inglaterra) y uno no
occidental (ruanda) no se ve una relacion de mutualismo ya que
inglaterra recibe mas beneficios en terminos de poder y
economicos, a diferencia de los beneficios que recibe ruanda que
son politicos y sociales.
