Kenya and Ghana, on opposite sides of the continent, say they want to revive trade between them. And they see their vast deposits of gemstones and prized agricultural products as key to boosting their commercial partnership.

On a state visit to Accra last week, Kenya's President William Ruto and his host Ghana's leader Nana Akufo-Addo, witnessed the signing of several bilateral agreements and memorandums of understanding.
