Bloomberg quotes Africa Center Director J. Peter Pham on President Obama’s trip to Kenya:
“From an economic point of view, Kenya and its neighbors are among the fastest-integrating regions in terms of infrastructure and lowering trade barriers,” creating a large marketplace, said Peter Pham, Director of the Africa Program at the Atlantic Council, a Washington policy group.
This trip is Obama’s fourth to the continent, the most by a sitting president and the first to Kenya, the homeland of his father, and Ethiopia.
He will focus on themes meant to address the economic and security challenges Africa faces.
