Ebrahim Raeisi, the President of Iran, is set to visit Kenya on Tuesday, July 9th. He will hold bilateral talks with President William Ruto at State House Nairobi, before jetting out to Uganda and Zimbabwe.
This will be the first time an Iranian President has visited Kenya. The visit is seen as an opportunity to strengthen trade and economic ties between the two countries. Raeisi and Ruto are expected to discuss ways to increase cooperation in areas such as agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism.
