Obama: Kenyans and Americans can build on visit to bring peace
- 9 years ago
Barack Obama was treated to a state banquet hosted by Kenya’s President Kenyatta in Nairobi on Saturday night.
The US president has said Washington is ready for closer cooperation in the battle against terrorism and to improve healthcare.
Differences on gay rights – homosexuality is illegal in Kenya – were put aside as Obama focused on improved relations with his father’s homeland.
“So here tonight, and across the United States, Kenyans and Americans are coming together. We are understanding each other better, we are finding new ways to partner and I believe that if we can build on what we accomplished on this visit, then we can achieve even more in the years to come, for our people, for our beautiful lands, for our freedom, for peace,” the American president said.
