NAIROBI, March 13 (Xinhua) -- French President Emmanuel Macron has arrived in Kenya for a two-day state visit on Wednesday as part of efforts to shore up bilateral ties between the two countries.
Macron arrived in Nairobi on Wednesday afternoon and later proceeded to State House for bilateral talks with his host, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The two leaders are expected to conduct a station tour of the Nairobi Central Railway Station before addressing a joint press conference.
"The joint press briefing will focus on the proposed development of commuter rail service to JKIA," State House said in a statement.
French Ambassador Aline Kuster-Menager said in February that the two countries are expected to sign several agreements and memorandum of understanding covering various subjects of mutual interest between the two countries.
Kuster-Menager confirmed that the proposed rapid transit train service between Nairobi Central Business District and the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is among projects expected to feature prominently when the two leaders hold bilateral talks in Nairobi.
