President Uhuru Kenyatta will this Saturday make history by becoming the first Kenyan Head of State to address a meeting of G7 leaders.
The meeting which will be held in Taormina, Italy will bring together leaders of the most industrialised nations to deliberate on development, trade and other global issues.
Member countries who will be at the meeting include Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, United Kingdom and the United States of America.
Kenyatta will also be among the only four African Heads of State who have been invited to the meeting.
President Kenyatta arrived at the venue of the forum on Friday evening under tight security and exchanged pleasantries with among others, US Head of State Donald Trump.

During his tenure, Kenya has raised its profile in the global platform by hosting influential world leaders.
Among those who visited the country during Kenyatta's reign are former US President Barack Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pope Francis.
Kenya has also hosted several global meetings as the nation seeks to assert itself as a regional powerhouse.
Among the conferences held in Nairobi were the Global Entrepreneurship Summit and the Tokyo International Conference of African Development (TICAD).
However, Kenya's international diplomacy suffered a huge blow early this year when Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohammed failed to clinch the African Union Commission Chairperson seat.
