The envoys include Paulo Neves Pocinho of Portugal, Matt Baugh of the United Kingdom, and Gabriel Pandureni Sinimbo of Namibia.
In a statement shared on his official social media platforms on Wednesday, May 6, Ruto said he welcomed the diplomats on behalf of the Kenyan people and expressed optimism about strengthening ties.
“On my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Kenya, I extended a warm welcome to the diplomats and encouraged them to deepen cooperation and expand opportunities for the mutual benefit of our four countries,” he said.
