President William Ruto on Friday afternoon jetted out of the country to attend the 37th African Union Summit of Heads of State and Government in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
In a statement, State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohammed said the theme of the summit is on building resilient education systems for Africa’s 21st-century human capital.
During the summit, President Ruto will speak on the education inequalities that have left 98 million children in Africa without access to schooling.
The Head of State will also deliver a report on the strides the continent has made in mitigating the climate crisis in his capacity as the chair of the Committee of African Heads of State and Government on Climate Change (CAHOSCC).
“This includes the Nairobi Declaration, agreed upon during the first-ever Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi last September. The document is Africa’s authoritative blueprint for addressing the climate change crisis and proposes reform of the global financial system as well as the Multilateral Development Banks,” Hussein stated.
The Head of State will also participate in a mini-East African Community Summit focusing on the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo and other regional concerns.
Additionally, he will hold meetings with fellow Heads of State, heads of international agencies, and business leaders.
The trip to Addis Ababa comes barely a week after the President returned from a four-day official visit to Japan.
Ruto also attended the World Governments Summit in Dubai which brought together various governments, international organizers, and leaders to discuss innovative solutions for future challenges, fostering international cooperation.
On January 28, the President embarked on a visit to Rome Italy to participate in the Italy-Africa Summit.
