During a press conference, President William Ruto of Kenya expressed his sincere gratitude to President Biden and the American people for the warm welcome and hospitality extended during his visit to the United States. The visit marks 60 years of bilateral relations between the two countries, rooted in shared values of democracy, rule of law, equality, and inclusivity.
President Ruto highlighted the importance of democracy and the need for the U.S. to work with Kenya and other like-minded democratic countries to uphold democratic values globally. He emphasized the challenges facing many African countries, including Kenya, such as extreme climate events, debt distress, and geopolitical disruptions, which divert resources from economic growth and development.
