Kenya and Spain have agreed to expand relations in trade, health and education.
Kenya also welcomed the interest of Spanish companies in tourism, agriculture, infrastructure, water management and renewable energy projects.
President Ruto said Kenya was committed to strengthening economic and investment relations with Spain for the benefit of the people.
The head of state also welcomed the move by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to integrate refugees into host communities.
Under the new approach, UNHCR will move them from camps to specific settlements where refugees will work, generate their own income and integrate.
The President said Kenya will continue to support refugees but called on the international community to help ease the burden.
“Kenya has dealt with refugees for years. The UNHCR and the international community can count on Kenya on this issue ,” he said.
The President was speaking when held talks with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi at State House, Nairobi.
