-

South President Salva Kiir Mayardiit to visit Kenya's Capital city Nairobi today to hold talks with Kenya's Head of State His Excellency Uhuru Mwigai Kenyatta. President Kiir will be accorded with full reception honors upon his arrival.

Members of Kiir entourage confirmed that the full state reception will be completed with a 21-gun salute before starting the bilateral talks with Kenya President Uhuru Mwigai Kenyatta.

Kenya State House Spokeperson Kanze Dena said that "“His Excellency Salva Kiir Mayardit, the President of the Republic of South Sudan will arrive in Kenya on Monday, 1st July 2019 for a two-day State Visit. On arrival, the visiting Head of State will be received by His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi where he will be accorded full State reception honors.”

Last month on 17th May South Sudan President visited Kenya to celebrate Kenya's Annual Prayer Breakfast, so the invitation also follows the annual prayer breakfast that happened in may last month.
The two days visit by President Salva Kiir is expected to lay foundation for bilateral engagements and also look into the issue of the boarder with Kenya which is also another talking point.

For those of you who don't know, Kenya contributed towards South Sudan Independence when the machakos protocol was first signed in the year 2002 between Sudan and South Sudan.

Kenya exports to South Sudan is 350.6 Million Dollars and the only product produced in South Sudan was only wood; which contribute to about 1.1 Million Dollars.
