Biden says US will name Kenya "major non-NATO ally," launches Nairobi-Washington Vision

U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday announced that his administration is working with Congress to name Kenya as "a major non-NATO ally" during a joint press conference at the White House, saying it "is a fulfilment of years of collaboration."
Biden also announced the launch of what he called the "Nairobi-Washington Vision" that will assemble international financial institutions and nations to mobilize more resources for debt-ridden countries like the East African nation.
"These are big goals, it will take time to see lasting progress," he said.
Ruto, on his part, expressed "deep concern" over what he said are the "accelerating drift toward regimes indifferent to democratic values," adding that he believes it is time for the United States, along with Kenya, to rally "like-minded democratic countries to set up the course for democracy."
