In addition to participating in the summit, President Ruto will engage in high-level bilateral discussions with global leaders, including His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
These discussions will center on strengthening cooperation in energy, trade, investment, and technology—key areas of Kenya’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda.
A significant highlight of the visit will be the signing of a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement between Kenya and the UAE. The agreement aims to boost trade, simplify export procedures, enhance market access for services, and stimulate investments across multiple sectors.
The UAE, Kenya’s sixth-largest export market, already imports tea, meat products, fruits, vegetables, and flowers from Kenya. This new agreement is expected to deepen economic ties and expand opportunities for both nations.
