NAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 17 – President Mwai Kibaki has urged Thai investors to consider Kenya as an investment destination of choice.

The President noted that by investing in Kenya, the Thai’s would have access to a big market as the country is the gateway to the entire East African region where five countries have formed a formidable economic bloc.

On his part, Mr Piromya assured President Kibaki of his country’s commitment to boosting the existing cooperation, saying Thailand valued the cordial relations it has with Kenya.
