President Uhuru Kenyatta is set to leave the country on Tuesday for a three-day State visit to the Carribean nation of Cuba.
President Kenyatta will be seeking to bolster Kenya’s bilateral relations with Cuba.
He hopes to boost collaboration and cooperation in health, sports, culture, blue economy and trade.
This comes after Kenya and Cuba signed an MoU on Health Cooperation last year.
President Uhuru is also expected to encourage Cuba to set up a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Kenya to serve the East and Central Africa regional market.
“The President will explore how to build Kenyan capacity, increase the number of medical specialists in orthopaedic surgery, oncology, neurology, and trauma management; and collaborate in research on cancer and diabetes drugs, and eradication of malaria. Kenya will also seek cooperation in veterinary vaccines,” read the statement.
