Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday emplaned for New Delhi from Nairobi, after completing his four nation tour in the African continent.

"My trip to Kenya was memorable. Has made economic and cultural relations between India and Kenya to be more consistent," he said prior to his departure.

Earlier in the day, India and Kenya exchanged several agreements ranging on a number of fields and Prime Minister also held bilateral talk with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on a wide range of issues aimed at boosting ties in the African continent, particularly in the economic sphere.

"India-Kenya ties have stood the test of time. Both our nations have had very strong people-to-people ties and both nations have successfully fought colonialism in the previous century," the Prime Minister had said ahead of the visit.

Before arriving in Kenya on the last leg of his visit, Prime Minister Modi had visited Mozambique, South Africa and Tanzania.

The Prime Minister held active interacions with the Indian communities during his visit to South Africa, Mozambique, Tanzania and Kenya.
