On Wednesday, President Uhuru Kenyatta and Djibouti leader Ismail Guelleh signed a number of agreements, mainly centred on boosting trade, but also influenced by security concerns. It is the second attempt by Kenya to woo Djibouti, a country which has traditionally not featured on Kenya’s trade links map. At the time, they spoke of their readiness to improve trade and security ties. Addressing members of the business community drawn from Kenya and Djibouti at the Inter-Continental Hotel, Nairobi, yesterday, Dr Juma said Djibouti is strategically located, making it a prime destination for investments. “I want to challenge the Kenyan business sector to visit Djibouti and set up companies there,” Ms Juma said.
