President William Ruto is set to travel to India on Monday for bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on strengthening ties in critical sectors and conclude the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs).

Speaking on Monday, State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed said the areas include agriculture, trade, investment promotion, healthcare, particularly in pharmaceutical production and capacity building, education, ICT, maritime affairs, and renewable energy.

Ruto is also expected to meet India's President Droupadi Murmu and speak at a trade and investment forum, highlighting the potential for economic cooperation between India and Kenya.

"The State Visit marks a significant milestone in the relationship between Kenya and India, providing a platform for collaborative initiatives and contributing to mutual benefits for the two nations and peoples," he said.

This follows President Ruto's visit to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, where he attended the ongoing 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28).
