This, he explained, will include infrastructure development, elimination of visa and trade barriers in order to stimulate free trade. “It is the right time to engage Africa’s leaders for the purpose of mobilising a firm African position on issues that are directly connected with our collective aspirations,” he said. The President made the remarks on Friday during a joint session of the Congolese Parliament in Brazzaville, where he was in a two-day state visit. He noted that African leaders must speak with one voice and called for collective climate action on a global scale. The Head of State argued that the leaders must advocate for reforms in the multinational financial institutions to address the debt crisis in the continent. President Ruto added that it was unfortunate that African countries have to choose between their development needs and climate action. “It is, therefore, clear that if we do not solve the debt issue, it will be impossible to address the climate crisis.” He was received by President Denis Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of Congo top officials in Brazzaville.

The President said the two countries are committed to lever- aging on the African Free Conti- nental Trade Area to grow trade whose potential is yet to be ex- ploited. \"We have plenty of room to expand the scale, size and val- ue of commercial activities be- tween our nations,\" maintained the Head of State.
