Burundi's First Vice-President Gaston Sindimwo spoke with Moses Havyarimana about the country's economy, politics and regional integration.

Burundi has faced economic growth challenges since 2015. What is the current state of the economy?

The economic downturn is a global issue currently. But given the prospects, we are hopeful; we see a better tomorrow because we have minerals.

We are working with mining companies and we ask Burundians living outside the country to come back and help build the nation.
