Mudavadi’s visit to London follows an invitation by the UK government.

Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi is currently in London, United Kingdom, for a diplomatic mission.

In a statement on Sunday, April 13, the Prime CS Press Service said Mudavadi will be attending the London-Sudan Conference and leading talks on financing the Nairobi Railway City project during the visit.

The Prime CS Press Service also explained that Mudavadi’s presence in London follows an invitation by the UK government.

"Following the invitation of the UK government, Dr. Mudavadi will present Kenya’s position on regional peace and security in the Greater Horn of Africa, particularly the conflict-ridden Sudan, which is now entering its third year unabated and has led to thousands of deaths and millions of people including women and children displaced," the statement read.

According to the Prime CS Press Service, Mudavadi is set to reaffirm Kenya’s support for a unified Sudan, and champion African-led peace mechanisms.

"During the meeting, Dr. Mudavadi will affirm that Kenya supports a unified Sudan for the people of Sudan, advocates for a Sudanese-owned political process with the supportive role of external actors, and Kenya’s opposition to using military solutions to address a political dispute.

"He will also advocate for respect and working through African institutions established by member states, including IGAD, the African Union, EAC, and SADC among others for a peace process, and discourage members engaged in forum shopping opting to choose methods that suit their selfish interests rather than the common good," the statement further read.

Beyond diplomacy, Mudavadi will hold talks with the United Kingdom Export Finance (UKEF) to finalize a financing deal for the 438-acre Nairobi Railway City project.

"Also in the London trip, H.E. Mudavadi will lead the government delegation in the agreement on the financing terms for the construction of the 438-acre mega Nairobi Railway City program, between the Ministry of the National Treasury and United Kingdom Export Finance (UKEF)," the statement added.
