First Lady Rachel Ruto arrives in Morocco for working visit

First Lady Rachel Ruto is set to undertake a working visit to Morocco at the invitation of Princess Lalla Asmaa.

The Kenyan Embassy in Morocco said the visit reflects the longstanding ties between Kenya and Morocco and will provide an opportunity to advance shared commitments on inclusion, dignity and equal opportunities for children with hearing impairments.

The visit reflects the depth and warmth of the longstanding bonds between Kenya and Morocco,” the embassy said.

The embassy said the engagement will also provide a platform to strengthen the multifaceted partnership and bonds of friendship between the two countries.

The visit is being facilitated by the Kenyan Embassy in Morocco, which said it looks forward to supporting the engagement.

The two countries, he said, have since expanded cooperation across several sectors, with 11 bilateral instruments signed during the inaugural Kenya-Morocco Joint Commission for Cooperation held in Nairobi in April.

The agreements cover areas including agriculture, justice, health, fisheries and aquaculture, gender equality and women’s empowerment, cultural cooperation, higher education, sports and wildlife, among others.
