President Ruto Hosts Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House After EAC-SADC Peace Meeting
NAIROBI, Kenya – President William Ruto on Thursday hosted Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta for a special tour of State House Nairobi, following the conclusion of the high-level joint East African Community (EAC) and Southern African Development Community (SADC) meeting on peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
In a gesture highlighting unity and continuity of leadership, President Ruto warmly welcomed his predecessor and longtime friend, underscoring the importance of collaboration among leaders in the region to achieve lasting peace in eastern DRC.
“It was a pleasure to conduct my old good friend, Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, on a tour around State House,” President Ruto said. “This moment symbolises our shared commitment to the stability and prosperity of the region.”
President Kenyatta, who continues to play a key role as a peace envoy in the Great Lakes region, participated in the joint EAC-SADC Heads of State consultations that focused on coordinated efforts to restore peace, address humanitarian needs, and facilitate the reintegration of displaced populations in the conflict-hit areas of the DRC.
The two leaders reaffirmed their shared resolve to support African-led solutions and multilateral partnerships in tackling the region’s pressing security challenges.
