President William Ruto has arrived in Evian, France, to participate in the G7 Summit, where he is expected to represent Africa and present the continent’s development priorities before leaders of the world’s largest economies.
The President is accompanied by First Lady Rachel Ruto and Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi.
Ruto is attending the summit at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron and is expected to use the platform to advocate for stronger partnerships between Africa and major global economies in areas such as trade, investment and sustainable development.
During the summit, the President will present Africa’s common position agreed upon at the Africa Forward Summit held in Nairobi last month. The agenda focuses on economic transformation, reforms to the global financial system, climate action and accelerating digital development across the continent. Kenya’s participation in the summit is seen as an important opportunity to advance Africa’s interests and strengthen international cooperation in addressing global economic and development challenges.
