President William Ruto is set to embark on a four-day trip to China from Tuesday, April 22, to Saturday, April 26, after an invitation by the Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Through a statement, the Chinese Embassy in Kenya revealed the new development, marking Ruto's second trip to the Asian nation in six months.
Ruto's last visit to China was in September 2024. "At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Kenyan President William Samoei Ruto will pay a state visit to China from April 22 to 26," the embassy stated.
Reports indicate that key amongst Ruto's agenda in China is to seek new funding for projects, including extending the Beijing-supported Standard Gauge railway to the border with neighbouring Uganda.
