Ruto State Visit | South Africa, Kenya deepen ties: Dr Charles Sinkala weighs in

President Cyril Ramaphosa has sought the counsel of his Kenyan counterpart, President William Ruto, on how to tackle the challenge of migration facing South Africa and the continent.

Ramaphosa made these remarks at the Union Buildings in Tshwane on Thursday, following discussions between delegations of the two countries, which formed part of a three-day State visit.

The two countries signed six instruments to increase bi-lateral trade, focused on shipping and maritime cooperation, gender equality and women's empowerment, technical and vocational education as well as arts, sports and heritage.

This forms part of plans to elevate their current Joint Commission for Cooperation established in 2007 into a strategic partnership framework to foster stronger relations.

For more on this we now bring in International Relations Expert, Charles Sinkala.
