President William Ruto will on Thursday attend the 22nd Summit of the COMESA Heads of State and Government in Lusaka, Zambia.
The summit aims to foster "Economic Integration for a thriving COMESA, anchored on green investment, value addition, and tourism."
Heads of state and government will also deliberate on the state of integration in the COMESA region.
During the meeting, they will also discuss peace and security.
On May 31, Ruto attended the East Africa Community (EAC) meeting in Bujumbura, Burundi to discuss the security situation in Eastern DRC.
During the summit, major decisions on the current security situation in Eastern DRC were made.
Troops from Kenya, Burundi, Uganda and South Sudan are currently deployed in the country to help secure areas vacated by the M23 rebels.
East African presidents made key appointments in the East African Court of Justice (EACJ).
The heads of State appointed Annette Ssemuwemba as the deputy secretary general for customs, trade and monetary affairs.
They also appointed Andrea Malueth as the deputy secretary general of infrastructure, productive, social and political sectors.
They agreed that the East African regional force (EACRF) deployed to the Eastern DRC will stay for another six months in the country following the extension of its tenure.
Speaking at the meeting, President William Ruto said the entry of the troops yielded "very" positive results.
"It was a good point to take, and now the difficult problem that has been facing the Congo for 20 years, we can confidently say that it is on the way to finding a solution," Ruto said.
The leaders also agreed on a schedule of how the fighters of groups like M23 and many others in the region are going to be gathered together before they are returned to normal life.
