Kenya’s President William Ruto has begun a two-day State visit to Tanzania starting Monday, aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between the two East African neighbours.
According to a statement issued by Tanzania’s State House, President Ruto will hold talks with his host, President Samia Suluhu Hassan, before the two leaders co-chair high-level bilateral discussions involving delegations from both countries.
The discussions are expected to focus on strengthening cooperation in key sectors, including trade, investment, infrastructure and transport, alongside other areas of mutual interest.
“The talks will centre on enhancing the longstanding brotherly and strategic cooperation between Tanzania and Kenya,” the statement said.
The two leaders will also witness the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding and cooperation agreements, signalling renewed commitment to expanding economic and diplomatic relations.
In addition, President Ruto is scheduled to participate in a Business Forum that will bring together investors and business leaders from Tanzania and Kenya, providing a platform to explore new commercial opportunities.
On May 5, President Ruto is expected to address the Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania in Dodoma before departing for Kenya, on the same day, after concluding his official engagements.
