Health, education partnerships to top Ruto’s agenda in India visit

 

Health and Education partnerships will dominate in President William Ruto’s inaugural State visit to India on Monday, State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed has said.

The President embarks on a two-day State visit to India following successful advocacy for Kenya and Africa’s climate agenda at the UN Climate Conference (COP 28) in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

Bilateral discussions with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi will span crucial areas such as agriculture, trade, and investment promotion, forging healthcare partnerships, particularly in pharmaceutical production and capacity building, and collaboration in education, ICT, maritime affairs, and renewable energy.

The talks will lead to the signing of several memoranda of understanding that will strengthen the partnership between the two nations.

President Ruto will also meet President Droupadi Murmu, and address a trade and investment forum highlighting the immense 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.
