According to a statement released by the government spokesperson's office, the two would undertake bilateral conversations on a number of issues of common concern to Kenya and the US, including peace and security, economic ties, and climate change.
“The Thursday, October 14, 2021 meeting will be a continuation of a telephone conversation the two leaders held in February this year,” part of the statement read.
President Kenyatta will be the first African Head of State to be hosted in the White House by Biden, Jr. since his inauguration on January 20, this year.
Uhuru, who is now in the United States, was present during the signing of a private sector deal aimed at increasing trade and investment between Kenya and the United States on Monday 11th October.
The agreement, which was signed by the Kenya Private Sector Alliance and the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA), establishes a framework for Kenyan and American businesses, particularly small and medium-sized businesses, to collaborate on information exchange, training, logistics, and financing.
CCA is the largest umbrella organization of American firms operating in Africa, founded in 1993 with the goal of boosting commerce and investment between the United States and Africa.
The President said the accord was part of measures to assist the expansion of Kenya's SME sector as a vital enabler of wealth and employment creation as he spoke at the signing ceremony in New York on the first day of his two-day visit to the US.
