President William Ruto is set to depart for Japan to attend the 9th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 9) in Yokohama.
According to State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed, Japan’s longstanding partnership with Kenya has grown to more than KSh600 billion, making Kenya the largest recipient of Japanese aid in Africa.
“The visit is expected to consolidate Kenya–Japan relations by expanding opportunities in trade, investment, and development cooperation,” the statement read.
“Both countries will further explore expanding educational exchanges in science, technology, and innovation to develop skilled talent,” the statement added.
President Ruto is also expected to push for stronger African integration to unlock the continent’s economic potential.
