Uhuru starts four-day tour of Ethiopia

By PSCU

Nairobi, Kenya: President Uhuru Kenyatta will Monday begin a four-day visit of Ethiopia to boost bilateral relations, as well as economic and commercial links between Kenya and Ethiopia.

During the President’s state visit – his first to an African country and second globally since his inauguration in April 2013 – he will meet Ethiopia’s President Mulatu Teshome and hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn.

Thereafter, he will attend an Intergovernmental Authority on Development summit where regional security matters will be discussed.

President Kenyatta’s first state visit was to China in August 2013.

Uhuru has made other visits within Africa and beyond, but they have been official.

The Kenyan delegation at the bilateral exchange will include cabinet secretaries Joseph ole Lenku, Raychelle Omamo, Prof Judy Wakhungu, Eng Michael Kamau, Davis Chirchir and Amb Amina Mohamed.
