"Bilateral discussions with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi will span crucial areas such as agriculture, trade, and investment promotion, forging healthcare partnerships, particularly in pharmaceutical production and capacity building; and collaboration education, ICT, maritime affairs, and renewable energy," read the statement.

During his meeting with President Droupadi Murmu, Ruto will address a trade and investment forum, highlighting the immense potential for economic cooperation between the two states.

Ruto warns of adverse effects of El Nino

While addressing the United Nations Climate Summit, the head of state warned of the ongoing heavy rains in Kenya and most parts of Africa.

Ruto admitted that the current downpours have made it harder for most households to survive and displaced thousands from areas prone to flooding.

"Kenya has been besieged by relentless torrents that have claimed lives and displaced countless communities. The ensuing injury, loss, and damage extend beyond the immense human toll to the destruction of vital infrastructure and the disruption of critical supply chains across many vital sectors," said Ruto.
"The situation in our Horn of Africa region, like in many other developing countries, lays bare the harsh reality of climate change," he added.
