President Samia Suluhu meets Uhuru at State House

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu jetted into Kenya on Tuesday morning for a two-day State visit.

She was received by a delegation led by Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Raychelle Omamo and Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed, and immediately headed to State House.

The visiting Head of State will hold bilateral talks aimed at “strengthening the cordial relations between the two countries,” read a statement by Kenya’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which noted Kenya is the biggest investor in Tanzania, whose exports to Kenya have been rising in the last 10 years.

She arrived at State House shortly after midday, where she met with President Uhuru Kenyatta. She received a 21-gun salute, a privilege and tradition given to visiting Heads of State.
