\u201cI have had a telephone conversation with US President-Elect @realDonaldTrump. I congratulated him following his election as the 47th President of the United States of America. We discussed areas of mutual interest that are of benefit to the citizens of our two countries, including trade and investment, security and good governance.<\/p>\n

Ruto said Trump\u2019s victory is a testament to the firm resolve of the American people to repose confidence in his visionary, bold and innovative leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Government and the people of the Republic of Kenya and on my own behalf, I convey my warmest congratulations on your election as the 47th President of the United States of America,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said Kenya stands ready to further enhance its cooperation with the US on matters of mutual interest, including trade, investment, technology and innovation, peace and security, and sustainable development.<\/p>\n

\u201cKenya values its longstanding partnership with the United States spanning over 60 years grounded in our shared values of democracy, development and mutual respect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
