South Africa and Kenya have pledged to accelerate trade, investment and economic cooperation as the continent's two leading economies seek to leverage the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to drive growth, industrialisation and job creation.
The commitment was reaffirmed on Thursday during Kenyan President William Ruto's State Visit to South Africa, where he and President Cyril Ramaphosa outlined an ambitious agenda aimed at deepening economic integration between East and Southern Africa.
Speaking at the Union Buildings following bilateral talks, Ramaphosa described Kenya as one of South Africa's most important strategic partners on the continent and highlighted the growing importance of economic cooperation between the two countries.
"Our economic partnership is one of the most strategic pillars of our bilateral cooperation," Ramaphosa said.
