“We will enhance our bonds of purposive friendship and strategic cooperation for the mutual benefit of our people,” Ruto said.

"Our security and progress is dependent on that of the region. The pursuit of peace is, therefore, an inevitable precondition for our prosperity.”


The head of state said he was encouraged by the peace process but noted closer cooperation is key to counter rising threats.

The President of Burundi and the Chairperson of the EAC Heads of State Summit was present at the event.

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta who is also the facilitator of the Nairobi Peace Process was also present.
