Kenya and South Africa signed agreements on Friday aimed at improving commercial relations between the two regional economic powerhouses before a planned visit by President Jacob Zuma next year.

The deals were sealed during a visit by South African Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe to east Africa's biggest economy. He said his trip was to create a better environment for businessmen to trade freely between the two countries.

Kenyan businessmen say South African tariffs and other trade barriers can make it difficult to invest or sell some exports in the continent's biggest economy.

Trade ministers from the two countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on agricultural cooperation and a double taxation treaty.
