Today, I am as optimistic and hopeful as I was all those years ago when Kenyan patriots raised a new flag high into the midnight sky.

Kenya and the United States stand together.

Committed to each other.
Committed to our people.
And committed to building a better world.

I know the responsibilities President Ruto and I have laid out will wake the best in us.

Like President Ruto, I believe the future will be won by countries that unleash the full potential of their populations – including civil society, women, and young people.

We are stronger – and the world is safer – when Kenya and the United States work together.

On behalf of myself and Jill, the Vice President and Second Gentleman, and the American people –

It’s an honor to welcome President Ruto and First Lady Ruto to the White House to celebrate 60 years of partnership between Kenya and the United States.

President Ruto and I believe technology should be developed and deployed with transparency, accountability, and human rights in mind.

We met with American and Kenyan business leaders to move that belief forward and deepen the ties between Silicon Valley and the Silicon Savannah.
