The White House announced on Tuesday that US first lady Jill Biden will visit Namibia and Kenya this week to "strengthen the partnership" between the United States and the two African countries.
In its statement, the White House indicated that this visit would be Mrs. Biden's first to Namibia and the third to Kenya.
The visit of the American first lady to the two African countries comes at a time when the United States is seeking to strengthen its presence on the continent in the face of the increasing Chinese investments in it.
The US presidency said in a statement that the first lady's visit will last from February 22 to 26, and will include meetings and talks centered on "women and youth, efforts to address food insecurity, and the promotion of our shared democratic values."
