President William Ruto will attend the Fifth Mid-Year Coordination Meeting (5th MYCM) of the African Union, Regional Economic Communities, and Regional Mechanisms on Sunday.
The summit will take place at the headquarters of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in Nairobi.
The summit will be held under the AU theme of “Acceleration of African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Implementation” for the year 2023.
On Saturday night, at least ten African presidents landed in the country.
Comoros President Azzali Assoumani, Ali Bongo (Gabon), Abdel Fattah (Egypt), Macky Sall (Senegal), Ismail Omar Guelleh (Djibouti), and Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Nigeria) were all received by the Head of State.
Zachariah Njeru, Cabinet Secretary for Lands, Public Works, Housing, and Urban Development, was at the JKIA to greet and welcome Libyan Presidential Council Head Mohamed al-Menfi.
Presidents of Gabon, Egypt, Comoros, Botswana, Senegal, Chad, Burundi (also the Chairperson of the East African Community), Algeria, DRC, and Djibouti are among those attending the meeting.
The African Union says the event will examine the progress of continental integration and coordinate efforts to speed the integration process.
Coordination of the implementation of a defined division of labor and successful collaboration, as well as identifying areas of cooperation and building channels for regional, continental, and global cooperation in each sector or subsector, are other duties.
