President William Ruto is set to leave for France and Senegal on Monday, January 23, 2023.
The President will meet with his French counterpart, President Emmanuel Macron, in Paris to discuss the status of significant development initiatives agreed upon by the two countries.
The discussions will also cover regional peace and security.
President Ruto will subsequently go to Dakar, Senegal, to deliver the keynote address at the Dakar 2 Summit on “Feed Africa: Food, Sovereignty, and Resilience.”
The meeting is being convened by the Africa Development Bank at a time when Africa is facing major food security concerns.
As a result, it is a perfect forum for Heads of State and other partners to debate how to maximize Africa’s agricultural potential, as well as plans and programs to assist scale up output.
It would also provide an opportunity for African leaders to brainstorm solutions to the continent’s soaring food costs.
