President William Ruto will depart the country today, Tuesday, December 2, for the United States of America (USA) at the invitation of his host, President Donald Trump.
In America, President Ruto will join President Paul Kagame of Rwanda and DR Congo’s President Félix Tshisekedi in witnessing the official signing of the DRC-Rwanda Peace Agreement, which is the most significant breakthrough in addressing decades of conflict in Eastern DRC.
According to State House spokesperson Hussein Mohamed, while in Washington, the head of state will participate in engagements aimed at advancing Kenya’s strategic interests in trade, investment, health cooperation, and security.
He will also witness the signing of the Kenya-U.S. Health Cooperation Framework, which shifts the 25-year partnership to a sustainable, government-led model aimed at advancing Universal Health Coverage and supporting a self-reliant health system by 2030.
In all scheduled engagements, President Ruto will endeavour to outline Kenya’s new economic transformation agenda towards a first-world economy, driven by human capital development, infrastructure expansion, agro-industrial growth, and expanded irrigation through extensive dam construction.
He will seek Public-Private Partnership (PPP) investment in these priority sectors, alongside enhanced energy security initiatives, to support the country’s long-term development aspirations.
