President William Ruto has hosted Dr Julius Bio, President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, at State House, Nairobi.
Bio is among dignitaries from across Africa in the country for the much-anticipated Africa Forward Summit.
The summit, jointly hosted by Ruto and French President Emmanuel Macron, will take place at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) and the University of Nairobi on May 11 and 12.
The Africa Forward Summit is being billed as a landmark gathering aimed at redefining relations between Africa and France while strengthening multilateral cooperation on global and regional issues.
The summit will convene African Heads of State, the President of France, representatives of the African Union, international financial institutions, development partners, business executives, innovators and creatives.
Organisers say the meeting seeks to produce concrete commitments and chart a new partnership model between Africa and France anchored on equality, mutual respect and shared prosperity.
The event is being held under the High Patronage of Presidents Macron and Ruto and is co-organised by Bpifrance, Business France and Proparco.
According to organisers, more than 1,500 economic and institutional leaders from Africa and France are expected to participate in the summit.
