Mr Habyarimana's plane was shot down above Kigali airport on April 6, 1994, sparking the genocide.
Kigali severed diplomatic ties with France after French investigating magistrate Jean-Louis Bruguiere accused Mr Kagame and his entourage of involvement in the death of the then president, Mr Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu.
France has acknowledged making 'mistakes' in Rwanda but denies any responsibility for the killing spree.
FRANCE played an active role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide, a report unveiled on Tuesday by the Rwandan government said, naming French political and military officials it says should be prosecuted.
'French forces directly assassinated Tutsis and Hutus accused of hiding Tutsis... French forces committed several rapes on Tutsi survivors', said a justice ministry statement released after the report was presented in Kigali.
The 1994 genocide in the central African nation left around 800,000 people - mainly minority Tutsis and moderate Hutus - dead, according to the United Nations.
