“As young dynamic citizens of Kenya and as members of the African society, you would need to be watchful of those who spread radical ideologies,” he said. “And be equally condemning of those who give shelter to terrorists and use them as political instruments.”

Modi said the youth can also play an important role in building a counter-narrative to extremist ideologies. His comments come in the wake of the recent terror attacks in Bangladesh, including one at a cafe in Dhaka that claimed over 20 lives.

Prior to his speech, the Prime Minister offered floral tributes at a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the university. India and Kenya signed seven agreements, including in the field of defence and security and avoidance of double taxation, on Monday following delegation-level talks headed by Modi and Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Modi, after his talks with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, also announced extension of concessional Line of Credit (LOC) of USD 44.95 million to the African nation to help it in development of small and medium enterprises and textiles.
