President William Ruto has held talks with Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who is currently in the country for a two-day official visit.
Ruto also pledged Kenya’s commitment to playing a leading collaborative role at the global level in solving the crisis in Ukraine.
He disclosed this in an interview with newsmen.
In his words, “We committed to playing a leading collaborative role at the global level in solving the crisis in Ukraine.
“The issues around Ukraine should be resolved in the earliest time possible because, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change serious challenges we have, the least we need is a war in between. I think that is our collective position and I am happy that we share this with our friends in Spain.”
“The public sector will play a facilitative role in ensuring we tap into these opportunities for economic development and creation of jobs.”
In the same vein, Prime Minister Sanchez also extended an invitation to host President Ruto in Spain so the two countries can continue to strengthen their cooperation in many fields.
Also, Sanchez said, “I am honoured to be the first ever Spanish Prime Minister to visit Kenya. We are looking forward to working with you and having you in Spain next year.”
It would be recalled that about 1,000 Spanish people live in Kenya working as businessmen, international officers, aid workers, religious people, embassy staff, and their families.
