President William Ruto has strengthened bilateral ties between Kenya and Egypt by signing 12 new Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the North African nation.

Ruto, alongside President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, held a joint press briefing at the Presidential Headquarters in Cairo, where they announced the conclusion of the 12 MoUs, which build upon four agreements reached in 2024.

The President emphasised that the new agreements mark an important step in expanding cooperation between the two countries, following productive negotiations at the 7th session of the Kenya-Egypt Joint Commission for Cooperation in Nairobi in 2024. "Today, I am pleased to announce that both our countries are committed to elevating our relationship to a strategic and comprehensive partnership that will bring greater opportunities to our people," Ruto said.
