Kenya has a special place in Japan's heart. That's why the sixth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 6) was held in Nairobi in 2016. This was the first such summit to be held on the African continent in TICAD's 23-year history.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is presently in Japan attending the TICAD summit, reaffirming the country’s commitment to enhance its ties with Japan, which have been in existence since independence.
