After the authorization of the mission to Haiti by the UN Security Council, US President Joe Biden called his Kenyan counterpart William Ruto in a statement by the white house.
The US President congratulated Ruto for the bold steps by Kenya to deploy 1000 officers to Haiti to help restore order to the country that has been marred with violence over the years.
“President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke with President William Ruto of Kenya today to thank him for answering Haiti’s call to serve as the lead nation of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission,” the White House documented.
“President Biden also congratulated President Ruto for hosting the recently concluded Africa Climate Summit and expressed appreciation for the U.S.-Kenya strategic partnership, which is founded on a pursuit of shared solutions to global challenges.
“Together, they discussed additional opportunities to promote regional security and mutual prosperity by spurring new investments, jobs, and sustainable growth,” read the White House statement in part.
In a separate statement, Ruto also highlighted that the partnership between the countries in infrastructure, renewable energy, and green manufacturing also dominated the call, reported to have lasted for close to 30 minutes.
