President William Ruto has said the State Visit to the United States of America has reinforced the enduring friendship, solidarity, and mutual endeavors that have united the two nations.
He said the partnership between Kenya and the US has yielded significant achievements over the past 60 years.
He said these accomplishments have kept both nations strong, effective, and dynamic in their collective pursuit of freedom, equality, and prosperity.
“We are proud of our robust ties and the shared values which form a strong bond of friendship,” he said.
He made the remarks during a State Dinner hosted in his honor by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at the White House, in Washington, D.C. on Thursday evening.
Ruto also launched a plan that will tackle the economic growth challenges related to urban land use and transport planning in the Nairobi metropolitan.
Referred to as the Kenya Urban Mobility and Growth Threshold Programme, the initiative aims to benefit more than 4.3 million people.
“This programme is about delivering results and unlocking greater opportunities for Kenyans,” said Ruto.
The Millennium Challenge Corporation CEO Alice Albright was present in the event that took place on Thursday in Washington, D.C.
“This is an exciting milestone in the growing partnership between Kenya and the United States,” explained Ruto.
