The discussions are expected to focus on infrastructure financing, regional connectivity and strategies to accelerate economic growth through improved transport, energy and digital networks. Kindiki departed Kenya on Wednesday morning, according to the Office of the Deputy President, to lead the country’s delegation at the high-level meeting. The forum comes at a time when African governments are looking to narrow the continent’s infrastructure financing gap while attracting greater private sector investment. Kenya has consistently positioned infrastructure development as a key pillar of its economic agenda. No public remarks from Deputy President Kindiki had been released at the time of publication.
