WASHINGTON, United States
The President of the United States of America, Joe Biden on Wednesday hosted Kenya’s President, William Ruto for a roundtable on technology at the White House in Washington, D.C.
President Ruto lauded the U.S.
for putting more resources into the digital space.
The President said this will
expand opportunities and transform lives not only in Kenya but also across
Africa.
“No partnership is as valuable
as one that is anchored on technology,” he said.
Later, President Ruto met the
Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson and engaged members
of the Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, at the U.S. Capitol,
Washington, D.C.
He reiterated Kenya-US
cooperation and expressed hope for stronger bonds and partnerships with the
U.S. in resolving conflicts and tackling insecurity, especially in the Horn of
Africa.
He also held talks with the
U.S. Senators led by Majority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer and the Minority
Leader Senator Mitch McConnell.
The President was recognised
as an Honorary Member of Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).
The Head of State acknowledged the vital role the Congressional Black Caucus continues to play in advancing social justice, human rights and economic development across the globe.
He implored Congress to take
the lead in reconfiguring the global financial architecture so that power is
not in the hands of the few.
“A bold, robust and targeted
approach will free Africa of the debt burden and transform the world,” he said.
At Arlington National Cemetery
in Virginia, President Ruto paid his respects to the U.S. fallen heroes.
