Africa: Ruto Calls for Win-Win Africa-France Partnership At Nairobi Summit

Nairobi — President William Ruto has called for a win-win partnership between Africa and France built on mutual respect and shared responsibility.

The President said the Africa Forward Summit presents a unique opportunity for Africa and France to forge a forward-looking partnership that delivers shared progress while advancing Africa's long-term economic transformation.

He said the partnership must not be built on dependency but on sovereign equality, not on aid or charity but on mutually beneficial investment, and not on extraction or exploitation but one that benefits both parties.
