Kenya FM to arrive in Russia Wed to discuss bilateral contacts
MOSCOW, July 16 (Itar-Tass) - Kenyan Minister of Foreign Affairs Moses Wetangula arrives in Russia on Wednesday for a visit to discuss prospects for reinvigoration of bilateral contacts and their further diversification.
A Russian Foreign Ministry official has said, "The visit is called
upon to reaffirm our orientation towards further invigorating Russia's
important foreign-policy component -- the African one, and to stepping up work to ensure Russia's long-term interests in East Africa and on the African continent as a whole. The visit is aimed at strengthening mutual understanding with Kenya, an influential African country, on a broad spectrum of problems of current concern, and at giving greater scope to cooperation in the international arena, and stimulating the development of bilateral relations".
"During the forthcoming talks, Sergei Lavrov and Moses Wetangula are to analyse in detail the basic tendencies of world development," the Ministry official specified.
"Priority attention is to be devoted to a discussion of such problems of current concern as the formation of a democratic system of world set-up, and the coordination of efforts to counteract international terrorism. The sides are to consider in detail such subjects as the enhancement of the central role of the United Nations in the maintenance of global peace and stability, and ways to reform the Organisation.
"The two Ministers are to exchange views on the entire range of
problems connected with the search for ways to settle conflicts and crises on the African continent, the problems that still remain a serious obstacle to the solution of tasks concerning the political and
socio-economic development of African countries," the Russian Foreign
Ministry official pointed out.
"The sides are to discuss the state of and prospects for invigoration of bilateral contacts, and possibilities for diversifying them still further. Special attention is to be given to the search for ways to more actively tap the existing potential in the development of mutually beneficial cooperation in trade, the economy, culture, tourism, and the training of national personnel," the official said.
