Wednesday, July 12, 2023 – Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has said that Iran and Kenya have great potential for cooperation in different areas, adding that the two countries are targeting a ten-fold increase in their economic and trade ties.

Speaking in Nairobi on Wednesday when he landed there for a two-day state visit, Raisi said Iran is a global leader in petrol chemical, agriculture, science, and technology and the country is ready to share such experience with Kenya.

He added that the current level of economic exchanges between the two sides is not acceptable and they are seeking to enhance the level of ties ten-fold in the first step.
