President Ruto in U.S. to Profile Kenya as Investment Hub
President William Ruto has arrived in Washington, D.C. for the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit.
He is expected to make a robust case for the expansion of trade between Kenya and the United States.
President Ruto will also be seeking to deepen the economic ties between the two countries during a meeting with his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden.
“We will be pitching to American companies to scale up and direct their investments to Kenya now that we are aggressively pursuing pro-business policies,” explained President Ruto.
He noted that for the world to progress, Africa’s voice must be at the centre of that conversation.
A statement from the White House said the Summit will demonstrate the United States’ enduring commitment to Africa.
“Africa will shape the future — not just the future of the African people, but of the world.“
