President Bush to Welcome President Kibaki of Kenya
Statement by the Press Secretary
President Bush is pleased to announce that he will host President
Mwai Kibaki of Kenya for a State Visit on October 6, 2003. The visit
will recognize Kenya's commitment to democracy, demonstrated by the
government's historic transition last year. Kenya is at the forefront
in fighting the global war on terror and is a leader in promoting
regional stability through its mediation and peacekeeping efforts.
President Bush looks forward to discussing with President Kibaki how
the United States and Kenya can further strengthen our strategic
partnership and broaden our cooperation on issues important to Africa
and the world, including deepening trade relations and combating
HIV/AIDS.
