President Uhuru Kenyatta visited Israel earlier this year and now the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is coming to Kenya today. Of course we had a very successful visit of President Kenyatta to Israel in March but this will be the first official visit by the Prime Minister of Israel to Africa in more than 30 years. The Israel ambassador to Kenya Yahel Vilan gives a preview of the visit and why it's important to both countries. As you may know, when President Kenyatta was in Israel, the two of them signed a declaration on water issues. This visit is very important because it reflects the importance the current prime minister and the government of Israel is attaching to Kenya and Africa in general.
