President Ruto Secures Malaysian Trade Deal and Attends AU-EU Summit in Angola - November 2025

President William Ruto has traveled to Luanda, Angola, to attend the 7th African Union–European Union Summit and the Second Session of the Ad Hoc Oversight Committee on African Union Institutional Reform. The president departed for Angola hours after a meeting with Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni. His visit to Angola will focus on reviewing cooperation and addressing funding gaps. Separately, Kenya has secured duty-free access for its agricultural produce and beef to the Malaysian market. This followed an agreement between President Ruto and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. The agreement was part of a landmark 60-year partnership deal forged on Monday, January 24, 2025, which eliminates trade barriers and enhances cooperation across multiple sectors.
