Hosted South Sudan President Salva Kiir Mayardit at State House, Nairobi. We expressed satisfaction with the strong relations between our two nations and resolved to continue opening more opportunities for trade and investment for our citizens.

Additionally, thanked President Kiir for South Sudan's participation in last week's launch of the Dangote East Africa Refinery in Lamu.

Commended South Sudan for the General Election to be held in December 2026. Kenya stands ready to support South Sudan in this endeavour while encouraging dialogue and consensus among all parties.

I met Dr. Abbas A. Waziri from Nigeria, at State House Entebbe. We discussed investments in cement manufacturing and minerals, as well as exporting our Ankole cattle and dairy products to Nigeria. Africa must produce, add value and trade more with itself. I welcome him.
