Abuja, Nigeria: President Uhuru Kenyatta has said his Government’s Foreign Policy will be geared towards deepening trade relations with East Africa Community member States.
Addressing the Kenyan diaspora in Nigeria after officially opening the newly constructed Chancery and High Commissioner’s official residence in Abuja, the President said intra-Africa trade diplomacy would form the backbone of Kenya’s foreign policy.
The Head of State said the policy is to facilitate people to easily cross borders to explore opportunities and engage in trade within the continent.
President Uhuru said African countries should focus on removal of trade barriers while rooting for internal solutions to the many challenges facing the African continent.
