According to the President, the talks centred around coming up with accelerated ways of promoting Kenya-Japan trade and investment.
Ruto assured the Japanese traders that investing in Kenya would give them a good return on investment, especially in areas of renewable energy, manufacturing and agriculture, among others.
The President added that investing in Kenya will also give them access to regional markets with more than 1.4 billion consumers.
"Investing in Kenya will offer Japanese enterprises access to the East African Community (EAC), COMESA, the Tripartite Free Trade Area and Africa Continental Free Trade Area markets of more than 1.4 billion people and a combined GDP of $3.4 trillion.
"A good return on investment is guaranteed, especially in our renewable energy, manufacturing, agriculture and technology sectors," Ruto said.
