Seychelles President Danny Faure returned home yesterday after a three-day State visit that led to landmark cooperation between Kenya and Seychelles ranging from fisheries to aviation.
He was seen off at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by President Uhuru Kenyatta and other senior Government officials, including Cabinet Secretaries Amina Mohamed and Najib Balala.
In fisheries, Kenya and Seychelles agreed to enhance cooperation in processing, information and intelligence sharing and partnerships for the benefit of the two countries.
Seychelles offered to help establish a fisheries service in Kenya through direct employment and attachment.
On its part, Kenya will export livestock products to Seychelles, ranging from beef, lamb, goat, poultry, butter, ghee and powdered milk.
The two countries also boosted their cooperation in aviation with Kenya Airways signing a joint marketing agreement with Seychelles Tourism Board, which provides a framework for collaboration to promote intra-Africa tourism. KQ will also explore the possibilities of regular cargo freight flights to Seychelles.
The plane carrying the Seychelles President departed Jomo Kenyatta International Airport shortly before noon.
