Kenya has vowed to deepen its relations with Ghana by expanding cooperation into key sectors such as trade and investment, agriculture, mining, tourism, and oil and gas.<\/p>\n

According to President William Ruto, the goal is to create broader opportunities for citizens of both countries and foster shared prosperity.<\/p>\n

This commitment was reiterated during a meeting hosted by Kenyan officials for Ghana\u2019s President-elect, John Dramani Mahama.<\/p>\n

Discussions focused on enhancing intra-African trade, especially under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which aims to boost economic integration across the continent.<\/p>\n

Kenyan leaders also thanked President-elect Mahama for endorsing Hon. Raila Odinga\u2019s bid for the African Union Commission chairperson position.<\/p>\n

This collaboration signifies a strengthening of ties between the two nations on matters of mutual interest, both regionally and internationally.<\/p>\n

President-elect Mahama, in return, invited Kenyan leaders to his swearing-in ceremony on January 7, 2025, in Accra, Ghana. The event is expected to highlight the growing partnership between the two countries.<\/p>\n

The meeting took place in Kilgoris, Narok County, with Raila Odinga joining the discussions. <\/p>\n

The leaders emphasised their shared commitment to advancing development and prosperity within Africa through strategic partnerships and enhanced cooperation.<\/p>\n
