Africa doesn’t have a liquidity problem. We have a risk mispricing challenge.
Paying 10% interest for the same infrastructure G7 builds at 2% isn’t risk. It’s bias. President Ruto will be asking the G7 to do more to fix the risk architecture and Unlock fair access to capital. #G7France #AfricaForward @ATI_ACA@_AfricanUnion@AfDB_Group@WorldBankAfrica@KeTreasury@ForeignOfficeKE
Africa is not asking for aid. Africa is offering mutually beneficial partnerships. G7 needs Africa’s green energy assets and transition minerals. Africa needs fair terms for development finance, technology transfer, and industrialization. G7 must do more to fix the risk architecture that holds back Africa, fund climate solutions, and let Africa co-write AI rules. G7 without Africa is managing decline. With Africa, G7 has a chance of co-designing the future. That’s the deal President Ruto will be pressing for in Avian, France. Honoured to be here to support him as he advances Kenya and Africa’s priorities. @ForeignOfficeKE
President William Ruto’s swing through Belgium, Norway and Finland this week was more than diplomacy. It was a pitch deck for Kenya’s next growth chapter.

We welcome €102 million (approximately KSh 15.3 billion) in new investments under the EU-Kenya Digital Partnership to accelerate digital transformation, expand connectivity and create opportunities for our youth and businesses. We also welcome €37 million in EU support for the Blue Raman submarine cable’s Africa extension connecting Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania, which will strengthen connectivity, lower bandwidth costs and reinforce Kenya’s position as a leading regional digital hub.
Held productive talks with Executive Vice-President of the European Commission, Henna Virkkunen, on deepening cooperation between Kenya and the European Union in trade, innovation and the digital economy.
We reviewed the implementation of the EU-Kenya Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), under which Kenya’s exports to the European Union have grown by more than 20 per cent since its entry into force, creating jobs and expanding opportunities for our farmers and manufacturers.
We also welcomed progress under the EU-Kenya Digital Partnership, particularly on the Digital Dialogue and the Data Adequacy process, which will strengthen digital trade, attract investment and enhance Kenya’s position as a leading digital hub and the world’s 11th-ranked Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) destination.
Our partnership with the European Union continues to unlock investment, drive innovation and advance shared prosperity.
@SingoeiAKorir@GeorgeNatembeya@FranceinKenya Bwana PS, diplomacy is sometimes dangerous. One meeting with an ambassador and suddenly even the critics become beneficiaries of international relations.
Looks like the handshake economy is working after all
We are at a critical inflection point. The fast-changing dynamics of our world demand that we actively redefine and restructure multilateralism to make it fit for the future.
Honored to share the stage with Alexander Schallenberg(former Foreign Minister of Austria), Ivan Marques(Secretary for Multidimensional Security;Organization of American States), and Mario Lubetkin(Foreign Minister of Uruguay) at the #Globsec2026 in Prague. Together, we dove into the complex but necessary conversation on the search for a new, resilient global order.
The conversation doesn't stop here. The work to re-imagine and possibly build a more responsive, agile, inclusive, 21st century, global governance architecture continues. @ForeignOfficeKE
Kenya will host the UN Internet Governance Forum 2026 in December this year. I am grateful to the UN Secretary General for appointing me Co-Chair of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group to coordinate this Forum.
Kenya is making steady progress in its nuclear power plans, and today in Nairobi, on the margins of the #AfricaForwardSummit, signed an agreement with @EnergyMinK’s @OpiyoWandayi to increase @IAEAorg support for the country’s programme.
The IAEA remains committed to supporting 🇰🇪’s safe, secure and peaceful development of nuclear energy.
