DP Gachagua departs for Belgium and Germany

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Monday evening left the country for Belgium on a three-day official visit.

A release sent to newsrooms said Gachagua will represent President William Ruto at the Global Gateway Forum hosted by the European Commission in Brussels.

The Forum aims to strengthen relations between the European Union (EU) and its partners, including Kenya, in key sectors such as digital innovation, green energy, transport, healthcare, and education.

On the side-lines, DP Gachagua will hold talks with the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen on boosting bilateral ties between Kenya and the EU.

As part of his efforts to seek a better market for Kenyan coffee, the DP will engage various actors.

He will also meet with Kenyans living in Belgium at Tangla Hotel in Brussels.

Gachagua will extend his travel to Germany for other engagements on coffee, climate change, and renewable energy, among others.

The DP will also meet the Kenyan diaspora in Germany at the Bayerischer Hof Hotel in Munich.
