President William Ruto on Wednesday held talks with his Congolese counterpart Denis Sassou Nguesso at State House.

The leaders discussed issues to do with agricultural expansion in both countries for their mutual benefit.

"There is tremendous potential for agriculture in both Kenya and the Republic of the Congo which we are keen to exploit to make both countries' food secure," Ruto said.

In his bid to make the country food secure, Ruto on Tuesday promised to reduce the cost of maize flour in the first 100 days.

He announced the lowering of the 50 Kg bag of fertilizer from Sh6,500 to Sh3, 500.

He spoke on Tuesday at Moi International Sports Center, Kasarani during his inauguration.

Earlier, Ruto also met with Presidents Salva Kiir (South Sudan) and Hassan Sheikh Mohamud (Somalia).

They held discussions on security and infrastructural development in the region.
