According to President William Ruto, strong bilateral relations with other countries are critical for Kenya's development agenda.
He also stated that the government will cultivate strong relationships with various nations to capitalize on untapped opportunities and broaden trade and investment prospects.
"Our progress is not an internal equation, we require friends, partners and investors to accelerate the achievement of our development goals. Bilateral relations facilitate cooperation and partnership with other nations that lead to opportunities for economic and social development," he said.
