“I am assured that Kenya and Zimbabwe will persist in conferring and backing each other on a multitude of issues of bilateral, regional and continental significance alongside the African Union Agenda 2063,” said President Ruto.
During bilateral talks with his counterpart Emmerson Mnangagwa on Saturday, President Ruto delivered the following remarks at the Bulawayo State House in Zimbabwe.

“Based on this, I wish to declare Kenya’s unreserved support for Zimbabwe’s readmission to the Commonwealth, and for the African Union’s call for the immediate lifting of all illegal sanctions against the Republic of Zimbabwe,” said President Ruto.
