A cabinet meeting chaired by President Paul Kagame on Friday adopted a bill "to create a national independent commission charged with assembling the evidence of France's involvement in the genocide perpetrated in Rwanda in 1994," said a statement sent to AFP.
Rwanda's Foreign Minister Charles Murigande said here Sunday France was willing to "accept an equitable share of the blame" for what happened during the massacre.
Last month, France and Rwanda agreed to work together to review events leading to the 1994 genocide in a bid to improve relations.
French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier said on a visit to South Africa: "We discussed ways to improve and normalise relations between Rwanda and France following some misunderstandings and we agreed to forge a new spirit and work together on genocide remembrance."
