President William Ruto is set to leave the country to attend the 37th African Union Summit of Heads of State and Government, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
In a statement, State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed said the President will leave on Friday afternoon.
During the summit, Ruto is expected to speak on the education inequalities in Africa, which have left 98 million children in Africa without access to schooling.
He will also deliver a report on the strides the continent has made in mitigating the climate crisis.
"This includes the Nairobi Declaration, agreed upon during the first-ever Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi last September," Hussein said.
Ruto will do this in his capacity as the chair of the Committee of African Heads of State and Government on Climate Change (CAHOSCC).
The theme of the summit is on building resilient education systems for Africa's 21st-century human capital.
President Ruto will also participate in a mini-East African Community Summit focusing on the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo among other regional concerns.
He will also hold meetings with fellow Heads of State, heads of international agencies, and business leaders.
The trip to Addis Ababa comes barely a week after the President returned from a four-day official visit to Japan.
He then went to Dubai, where he attended the World Governments Summit in Dubai.
The summit, themed “Shaping Future Governments,” brought together various governments, international organizers, and leaders to discuss innovative solutions for future challenges, fostering international cooperation.
He also held bilateral meetings with other leaders present at the summit.
