President Uhuru held a meeting with a delegation of senior Qatar government officials led by Minister for Transport and Communication Jassim Bin Saif Al Sulati during which the Head of State was informed of plans by Qatar Airways to start direct flights between Doha and Mombasa on 9th December this year.
"We look forward to the maiden flight by Qatar Airways to Mombasa. For us the flight is a confirmation of the continued and growing cooperation between our two countries," President Kenyatta said.
While acknowledging Qatar for their role in the export of Kenyan products especially flowers and fruits, the President challenged the Gulf state to consider import of meat products from Kenya.
