RIYADH: Saudi minister of investment Khalid Al-Falih was received on Thursday at the Presidential Palace in Nairobi by Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta, Saudi Press Agency reported.
Al-Falih and Kenyatta met on the sidelines of the Kenya-Saudi Business Forum.
During the reception, Al Falih conveyed the greetings of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
They reviewed the bilateral relations between the two countries, areas of joint cooperation and ways to expand investment opportunities and how the forum could facilitate future investments, SPA reported.
The forum stressed the importance of strengthening joint economic relations in the banking, construction, energy, hospitality, agriculture and technology sectors.
On Friday, Ruto received Saudi Royal Court Adviser Ahmed Kattan, where he pledged his country’s full support for the Kingdom’s bid to host Expo 2030 in Riyadh.
Kattan expressed thanks and appreciation on behalf of the Saudi government for this gesture, “which emanates from the distinguished relations between the two countries,” SPA said.
Kenya had previously backed the Kingdom’s bid to host Expo 2030 last year under former President Uhuru Kenyatta during a meeting with Kattan.
