Mozambique President Daniel Francisco Chapo has arrived in Kenya for a state visit, which is expected to feature high-level engagements aimed at deepening cooperation across key sectors.

The Mozambique leader was welcomed by the Prime Cabinet Secretary, Musalia Mudavadi, who announced it on his official X account on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.

According to Mudavadi, President Francisco is in the country for a three-day working visit at the invitation of President William Ruto and is on his first visit to Kenya as Head of State.

“Kenya continues to strengthen its global partnerships, and today I welcomed H.E. Daniel Francisco Chapo, President of the Republic of Mozambique, on his arrival for a three-day working visit at the invitation of H.E. President @WilliamsRuto, his first visit to Kenya as Head of State,” Mudavadi said.

In addition, the visit will feature high-level engagements aimed at deepening cooperation across key sectors, expanding trade and investment, and advancing the long-standing Kenya–Mozambique partnership anchored on practical, results-driven outcomes.

At the same time, it will also provide an opportunity for the two Heads of State to review bilateral relations and exchange views on regional and global political, economic and security developments.

During his stay, President Fransisco will participate, as a guest of honour, in the 4th Kenya International Investment Conference (KIICO), held from 25 to 27 March 2026 in Nairobi, an event that will bring together global investors, policymakers, and leaders from the private sector.

“President Chapo will also participate as Guest of Honour at the 4th Kenya International Investment Conference (KIICO), scheduled for 25th–27th March 2026 at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre, further reinforcing Kenya’s position as a hub for investment and regional engagement,” Mudavadi added.
