Kenya's leader William Ruto welcomed Slovenia's President Nataša Pirc Musar at his official home Saturday. The meeting happened before Kenya's important Madaraka Day holiday on June 1. People will celebrate at Raila Odinga Stadium located in Homa Bay County. Musar serves as the special guest for this national event. The holiday marks when Kenya gained control over its internal affairs back in 1963.
This visit makes history as the first time a Slovenian leader has come to Kenya. The two countries started working together diplomatically 21 years ago in 2004. Both presidents plan to discuss ways their nations can help each other economically. They want to talk about keeping peace and safety in their regions. Their conversations will cover climate issues and changes needed at the United Nations.
During her stay, Musar will open a new climate research center at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. The facility comes from partnership between JHUB Africa and Slovenia's space science organization SPACE-SI. Young people will use this hub to create solutions for climate problems. The center will focus on smart farming methods and computer technology. This project shows how both countries want to fight climate change together.
