Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is expected in Kenya Tuesday as part of the four-leg African tour, his first since he became the Asian country’s head of government two years ago.
A tentative itinerary released by his office said he was coming to Nairobi, sub-Sahara’s largest recipient of Japan’s official development assistance (Oda), to seek cooperation on a number of global crises including that in Sudan and Ukraine.
