President William Ruto and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed eight new bilateral agreements in Nairobi, bringing their total trade and cooperation deals to 25. This occurred a day after Tanzania imposed a ban on certain Kenyan businesses, underscoring efforts to strengthen regional ties.

• Among the new agreements is a partnership between the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) and the Uganda National Bureau of Statistics (UNBS) to promote legitimate trade and curb illicit activities.
• The leaders addressed the longstanding Migingo Island dispute under a new agreement on Fisheries and Aquaculture.
• Improvements in transport and development were agreed upon, including the Nairobi-Nakuru-Malaba Highway dualling project and the acceleration of the Busia Metro Project (2025–2028), aiming to boost trade and connectivity to the Port of Mombasa.
• Other agreements cover tourism, property rights, mining, agriculture, and animal technology. President Ruto also announced a special committee and a cultural envoy for the Atekeri people, spanning Kenya, Uganda, and South Sudan.
