President Kenyatta expected to arrive in Israel for bilateral talks on security and agriculture

President Uhuru Kenyatta is scheduled to arrive in Tel Aviv, Israel Monday evening for a state visit that will see him address bilateral partnership with the country on various fronts, with particular interests in security and agriculture. The last sitting President of the Republic of Kenya to visit Israel was retired President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi in 1994.

Uhuru's state visit now speaks volumes on the renewal of relations between the two countries. Israel is a key partner in the Galana-Kulalu food security program. Kenya is set to benefit from Israel's knowledge and systems of irrigation.
