President Uhuru Kenyatta arrived in Botswana on Monday and received a 21-gun salute and guard of honour mounted by the Botswana Defence Forces at the airport.

The President arrived at the Sir Seretse Khama International Airport, Gaborone at 11am, where he was received by his host, President Ian Khama.

During his three-day state visit, President Kenyatta will hold meetings with President Khama to discuss bilateral and regional issues.
