WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 12th October, 2021) US President Joe Biden will be hosting Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on October 14 to discuss ways of bringing transparency to domestic and international financial systems, and a range of other issues, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said on Tuesday.

"On Thursday October 14, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. will host President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya at the White House. The leaders will discuss the strong US-Kenyan bilateral relationship and the need to bring transparency and accountability to domestic and international financial systems," Psaki said in a statement.
