Kenya and Mozambique are set to expand their bilateral talks as President William Ruto visits the country.
State House spokesperson Hussein Mohammed on Thursday revealed that President William Ruto will hold discussions with his Mozambique counterpart Filipe Nyusi during the two-day visit.
The visit will mark the launch of the Kenya-Mozambique Joint Trade Committee ( JTC).
"The two will focus on key sectors, including the Blue Economy and Fisheries, Trade, Defence, Agriculture, Energy, Transport and capacity building," he said.
Also during the visit, Ruto and Nyusi will oversee the signing of 8 cooperation agreements, solidifying the two countries shared commitment to collaboration.
"This will also strengthen cooperation along the realm of the Indian - Swahili coast," Hussein's statement reads in part.
The visit will also provide momentum for the Kenya-Mozambique Business Forum, which will explore mutual economic opportunities.
State House Press Secretary Emmanuel Talam said Ruto left the country early in the morning for the visit.
Foreign CS Alfred Mutua arrived in Mozambique on Wednesday evening ahead of the President.
"I have today ( Wednesday) arrived in Maputo, Mozambique for the Joint Permanent Commission for Cooperation meet and to prepare for H.E. President William Ruto's State visit to the country," he said.
Mutua was received by his counterpart Verónica Macamo.
