Blinken also thanked President Ruto for Kenya’s leadership of the Multinational Security Support mission to Haiti and for Kenya’s role in promoting regional peace and security in Africa.

“I just want to again thank you for Kenya’s remarkable leadership of the Multinational Security Support mission in Haiti. I was in Haiti a couple of weeks ago and saw for myself Kenya’s leadership on the ground. But there and in so many other regional challenges in Africa, Kenya is playing an absolutely essential leadership role.

“For our part, we look forward to continuing our own discussions about how we can work together even more, particularly to help support your economic programs and economic growth, as well as the important work for the Kenyan people,” Blinken remarked.

On his part, President Ruto thanked Blinken for the friendship between Kenya and the United States.

He also thanked the U.S. for the support in the peacekeeping mission in Haiti.

“I want to thank the U.S. for the immense support that we have received in terms of equipment and support at MSS and everything else you are doing around our continent, your support in South Sudan, what you are doing in DRC. And I will be looking forward to a conversation around those issues and to see how our partnership can help drive some of the solutions in those areas,” President Ruto stated.
