Mudavadi heads to India for Raisina Dialogue on geopolitics and economy

In a press release dated Monday, March 2, 2026, the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary said Mudavadi — who is also the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs — will take part in the three-day conference from March 5 to 7, described as India’s premier forum on geopolitics and geoeconomics.

The government said Mudavadi will represent President William Ruto at a session on “Africa Rising: Pathways, Partnerships, and Priorities,” and will highlight Kenya’s economic diplomacy drive, including the signing of bilateral trade and investment agreements to expand markets across Africa, Asia and Europe.

“With the youth bulge on earth of about 70 per cent of the total population, vast mineral wealth, and the increasing number of tech-savvy young people, Africa remains the clearest source of long-term optimism — not just for Africans, but for global prosperity,” Mudavadi said, according to the statement.

While in New Delhi, Mudavadi is also set to attend the Kenya–India Joint Commission for Cooperation, with the government saying the talks will pursue a results-driven agenda aimed at delivering tangible outcomes for both countries
