Ruto starts two-day visit to Rwanda on President Kagame’s invitation

Kenyan President William Ruto has arrived in Kigali on Tuesday afternoon to begin a two-day tour — on the invitation of President Paul Kagame — his first in Rwanda since he came to power last year in September.

According to a statement from State House in Nairobi, the agenda of the trip is to deliberate on areas of “mutual interest and cooperation” including the integration projects on the Northern Corridor, the main supply line for imports out of the region to Rwanda, through Kenya. Trade expansion within the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA) education, food security, innovation and ICT and health are the other issues on the agenda.
