Kenya is set to strengthen its relationship with Ghana by boosting trade, investment, agriculture, mining, tourism, and oil and gas.
The initiative aims to unlock new economic opportunities and foster prosperity for the people of both countries.
The commitment was made during a meeting between Kenyan President William Ruto and Ghana’s President-elect John Dramani Mahama.
The two leaders engaged in discussions about broadening intra-African trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), emphasising its potential to revolutionise economic integration on the continent.
Kenya will enhance her relations with Ghana to include more sectors in trade and investment, agriculture, mining, tourism, oil and gas.
