Kenyatta Back From Japan

Kenyatta Back From Japan

The President, who attended the 3rd United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai city, also secured commitments by Japan to support Kenya and other countries in setting up mechanisms to deal with disasters.

Japan, which has suffered greatly from natural disasters, has succeeded in setting up mitigation measures and Kenya expects to learn from its experience and challenges to partner with the Asian country in setting up its own mechanisms.

During the visit, President Kenyatta held fruitful talks with the Japan leadership on matters pertaining to bilateral engagement where the host country pledged USD 38 million to support Kenya’s universal healthcare.

MULTI-MILLION INVESTMENTS

President Kenyatta met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Toyota Tsusho CEO Jun Karube who promised to deepen their relationship with Kenya for the benefit of the two nations.

The Toyota Tsusho CEO said a team would be visiting Kenya next month to explore the prospects of a multi-million shilling investment that will significantly transform Kenya’s motor vehicle industry.

The President also addressed the Kenya-Japan Business Forum in Tokyo attended by about 100 Japanese companies, some of them in the Fortune 500 list, as he concluded his five-day visit to Japan.

The plane carrying President Kenyatta and his delegation touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport shortly after 11.00 pm.

On arrival the President was received by the Deputy President William Ruto and other senior Government officials.
