In a global environment shaped by fragmented supply chains and shifting geopolitical alliances, Kenya is seeking to expand its trade opportunities and deepen existing partnerships.

Over the past six weeks, President William Ruto has undertaken a series of diplomatic visits across Tanzania, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Belgium and Finland aimed at strengthening economic and strategic cooperation.

The engagements reflect a trade-focused foreign policy that seeks to attract investment, expand market access and advance regional and intercontinental infrastructure links.
