Tehran, IRNA – Drones manufactured by Iranian knowledge-based companies have been unveiled in the presence of President Ebrahim Raisi in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi with the aim of marketing them for agricultural projects in the African country.

The unveiling ceremony was held on Wednesday during the visit of President Raisi to Iran’s House of Innovation and Technology (iHiT) in Kenya.

The Iranian drones, namely Pelikan and Dorna, are to be used in agriculture projects for spraying pesticides in farms and for monitoring purposes in the lands.

The iHiT in Kenya is an important center for showcasing the products of 35 Iranian knowledge-based companies, including products used in medicine, agriculture, construction and other fields.

On Wednesday morning, the Iranian president arrived in Nairobi and was officially welcomed by his Kenyan counterpart William Samoei Ruto at the presidential palace.

Kenya is the first leg of President Raisi’s three-nation tour of Africa. He will also travel to Uganda and Zimbabwe.
