President Ruto also announced a commitment to deepen cooperation with China, particularly in infrastructure development. This was highlighted during a meeting with the Export-Import Bank of China where a loan for an Intelligent Transport System was discussed. Separately, the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) and the National Securities Exchange of Somalia (NSES) signed a Memorandum of Understanding. This agreement aims to foster financial integration through cross-border listings and technology collaboration.
