President William Samoei Ruto underscored the significance of robust international partnerships in advancing Kenya's development agenda during a credential ceremony at State House Nairobi.

Receiving credentials from 11 ambassadors and high commissioners, Ruto highlighted the crucial role bilateral relations play in unlocking untapped opportunities and expanding trade and investment prospects.

“Our progress is not an internal equation; we require friends, partners, and investors to accelerate the achievement of our development goals. Bilateral relations facilitate cooperation and partnership with other nations that lead to opportunities for economic and social development,” Ruto stated emphatically.

He further emphasized that strong bilateral relations enable the nation to explore new markets, boost trade, and establish lasting bonds with other countries.

The President's remarks came as he received credentials from diplomats representing diverse nations, including Ibra Hussain Khan from Pakistan, Mohammed bin Mutair Ammash Al-Shamlani Al-Enazi from Qatar, and Bernard Yohana Kibesse from Tanzania.
