OBAMA'S PEOPLE IN TOWN TO TALK STRATEGY

Nine senior Obama administration officials led by the President's National Security Advisor for International Economics, Michael Froman, will spend two days in Kenya visiting sites
crucial to the growing US/Kenyan economic relationship, consulting Kenyan officials and American investors, as well as other key figures in Kenya's political and economic establishment.

While in Nairobi, Mr. Froman will deliver a speech to the American Chamber of Commerce in which he will emphasize President Obama's recently announced comprehensive strategy to boost trade, strengthen peace and security, and bolster democratic institutions in Africa. The strategy, announced by the President in June, is meant to build on the accomplishments of the past three years and to encourage the enormous potential for economic growth throughout the continent. 

Among others, Mr. Froman will be accompanied by the Assistant Secretary for Commerce for International Market Access and Compliance, the Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for Africa, as well as the lead White House staff directors for Democracy and Development, and of African Affairs.
