President Uhuru Kenyatta and his South African counterpart Jacob Zuma are set to hold talks on Thursday in Durban.
President Uhuru will be making his first state visit to the country since his second term inauguration.
The South African Presidency said South Africa and Kenya enjoy very warm bilateral relations underpinned by strong historical and political bonds.
“South Africa is a strategic partner of Kenya in many areas, particularly trade and security. Numerous South African companies have a presence in Kenya. They operate in sectors such as banking, insurance, accountancy, pharmaceuticals, retail, tourism and engineering,” its spokesperson Dr Bongani Ngqulunga said in a statement.
The two Heads of State will also discuss various issues of mutual importance, such as continental and international developments.
