Ader meets Kenyan president in Nairobi

Kenya wants to strengthen its presence in central Europe and is ready to open a diplomatic representation in Budapest as soon as possible, Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta told Hungarian counterpart Janos Ader in Nairobi on Monday. Ader is the first Hungarian president to visit Kenya since it gained independence. At a joint press conference following a closed-door meeting, the two presidents said that Ader's visit served to intensify bilateral cooperation. Ader said Kenya had recently become a tourism, financial, trade, and diplomatic centre of the region, with a population increase and an massive rise in living standards. Ensuring high quality food supplies is high among the country's priorities, he added.
