Kenya’s President William Ruto says he is seeking to improve the bilateral trade relations with the US and establish “new relationships and strategic partnerships” with American businesspeople in his efforts to improve the country’s economy.

According to a statement by State House, the president, who is currently in New York city for the United Nations General Assembly, was hosted to a “high-level business roundtable” by the US Chamber of Commerce, a lobby representing American businesses and organisations.
