Musalia Mudavadi has departed for New Delhi to participate in the Raisina Dialogue, India’s premier annual forum on geopolitics and geoeconomics.
As Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, Mudavadi will represent Kenya at the three-day conference running from March 5 to March 7. The event gathers global leaders, policymakers, academics, industry experts, and journalists to discuss critical international issues shaping the global order.
During the forum, Mudavadi will showcase Kenya’s enhanced economic diplomacy under President William Ruto’s administration, emphasizing bilateral trade and investment agreements aimed at expanding markets and reducing trade barriers across Africa, Asia, and Europe.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary will also elaborate on Kenya’s strategy to leverage trade diplomacy in transitioning from a primary exporter to a value-adding trade hub at the center of Africa’s growth trajectory.
Mudavadi will represent President Ruto in a high-level session titled “Africa Rising: Pathways, Partnerships, and Priorities,” highlighting the continent’s demographic and resource advantages.
“With approximately 70% of the global youth population, extensive mineral wealth, and a growing number of technology-savvy young people, Africa represents the most promising source of long-term optimism not only for Africans but for worldwide prosperity,” Mudavadi stated.
During his stay in New Delhi, the Prime Cabinet Secretary will work to strengthen Kenya-India relations, which are based on over a century of brotherhood, shared values, and mutual interests.
He is scheduled to attend the Kenya-India Joint Commission for Cooperation, where he will help establish a results-driven agenda focused on achieving concrete economic and diplomatic outcomes for both nations.
