NAIROBI, Kenya, May 9 — Cabinet Secretary Raychelle Omamo was on Monday set to hold talks with top officials of the Hellenic Republic as she begun her two-day visit in Athens.

A statement released by the Foreign Office indicated Omamo would later in the afternoon meet President Katerina Sskelaropoulou and her counterpart Nikos Dendias.

“The visit aims at deepening the longstanding bilateral relations between the two countries. The Cabinet Secretary will use the opportunity to intensify cooperation in trade and investments,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
