President Of Kenya, Ruto Meets US Secretary Over UN Meeting In New York

In a significant diplomatic gesture, Kenya’s President William Ruto met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the sidelines of the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York.

President Ruto expressed his heartfelt appreciation for America’s unwavering support in Africa, particularly in conflict-ridden regions such as South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“We are deeply grateful for the US’s commitment to peace and stability in our region,” President Ruto stated. “Your assistance has been invaluable in our efforts to bring lasting solutions to these areas.”
