President William Ruto is set to depart for South Korea on Sunday evening for an official visit, marking a return tour following his trip last year.
The visit aims to finalize and sign various agreements that were initiated during his November tour.
During an interdenominational church service in Kimilili, Bungoma, Ruto announced that he will witness the signing of several significant deals.
"Today I will be jetting to Korean for three issues. When I was there last year there are some things that we agreed and so I am going to bring that money," he said.
"These include a Sh40 billion agreement focused on the creative economy and a Sh25 billion worth of equipment for construction of dams for irrigation."
Another major agreement, he said, pertains the agricultural sector.
"Nilikuwa lazima niexplain ndiyo msiseme huyu mtu tulikuwa na mkataba na anakaa. So mniruhusu niende kwa sababu ya Wakenya wengine," he said.
This visit by the head of state underscores the strengthening bilateral relations between Kenya and South Korea.
During the November visit, Ruto met and held bilateral talks with his counterpart President Yoon Suk Yeol.
He also attended a business forum where he will market Kenya as a suitable investment destination for foreign investors.
The visit was aimed at opening up job opportunities for tech-savvy youth in both countries.
Kenya is keen on expanding economic ties with the East Asian nation and exploring areas of cooperation, especially in ICT, education, pharmaceutical and infrastructure.
