For President Ruto, this summit is a chance to push Africa’s agenda, building on the resolutions from last month’s Africa Forward Summit, which Kenya jointly hosted with France, that laid out a shared continental plan covering economic transformation, financial reforms, climate action and digital growth.

Additionally, he will address Africa’s position on artificial intelligence governance, calling for equitable access to emerging technologies and increased investment in digital infrastructure, data centres and skills development across the continent.
This trip comes after a series of heavy criticism from the public, media, and opposition leaders regarding the frequency and high cost of his trips during a difficult economic period for the country, with the last trips involving state visits to Finland and South Africa, where a series of agreements were made.
In response, President Ruto has defended his frequent international travels by stating he is Kenya’s ‘chief diplomat’ and ‘chief agent,’ not a tourist, with his ‘many trips’ intended to bring development into the country.
