President William Ruto has landed in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, for a two-day state visit to the neighbouring nation.

Ruto was received at the airport by a delegation of both Kenyan and Tanzanian officials.

During the visit, Ruto will hold a one-on-one meeting with his host, Samia Suluhu Hassan, before the two leaders convene official bilateral talks involving delegations from both countries.

The discussions are expected to focus on deepening cooperation in key sectors, including trade, investment, infrastructure and transport, areas that remain central to economic integration within the East African region.

According to a statement from State House, the talks will seek to reinforce the longstanding fraternal relations between Kenya and Tanzania, with both sides also expected to explore new areas of mutual interest.

A major highlight of the visit will be the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding and cooperation agreements, signalling renewed commitment to joint development initiatives.

On Tuesday, May 5, President Ruto is expected to travel to Dodoma, where he will address the Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania, a rare diplomatic honour that underscores the growing ties between the two countries.

In a communication issued last week, Mussa Azzan Zungu notified Members of Parliament of the upcoming address scheduled for 11 am.
