German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has arrived at State House, Nairobi for a meeting with President William Ruto.
Scholz arrived at 10:11 am on Friday and was received by the president.
He makes a return to Africa for a three-day trip that will see him visit Ethiopia and Kenya.
The two will discuss areas touching on renewable energies, as Germany is considering Kenya to be a key economic partner.
Ruto was in Berlin on March 27, where he held trade and bilateral talks with Scholz and President Frank-Walter Steinmeier aimed at strengthening ties between the two countries.
He was a keynote speaker at the 2023 Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue.
Kenya, Ruto stated, aspires to reach 100 per cent renewable energy in 2030 and to "take a quantum leap to 100 gigawatt grid size and 100 per cent renewable by 2040."
The plan involves promoting green manufacturing, sustainable agriculture, eco-friendly urbanization, and green transportation.
Scholz who is accompanied by various dignitaries has also been scheduled to visit the geothermal power plant in Naivasha.
He will later visit the Africa Union (AU) offices, the focus being regional and international security.
