Botswana–Kenya relations are bilateral relations between Botswana and Kenya. ==History== Immediately after Uhuru Kenyatta was elected as President of Kenya, Botswana threatened to ban Kenyatta from entering the country if he didn't co-operate with the ICC.〔(Botswana apologises to Kenya over Kenyatta ICC warning ). BBC News. March 14, 2013. Retrieved January 9, 2015.〕 Botswana had also initially rejected the AU's resolution to drop Kenyatta's case in the ICC, becoming one of Africa's only supporter of the ICC. Botswana was the only country that rejected the resolution.〔Khonami Ontebetse, (Botswana rejects AU’s resolution to drop Kenyatta’s ICC charges ). ''The Sunday Standard''. February 6, 2013. Retrieved January 9, 2015.〕 Even neighbouring South Africa was one of the countries that called for mass pull out of African countries from the ICC. Botswana later on supported the AU's resolution later. As diplomatic relations were strained Botswana sought to fix the strenuous relations brought about by the Botswana Foreign Minister's comments about President Uhuru Kenyatta. President Uhuru Kenyatta was set to visit Botswana in 2013 following an invitation from President Seretse Khama Ian Khama.〔Mtokozisi Dude, (President Kenyatta to hold talks with Botswana leader ). ''Daily Nation''. November 4, 2013. Retrieved January 9, 2015.〕 Kenyatta's cooperated with the ICC and charges against him were dropped in December 2014.〔(ICC drops Uhuru Kenyatta charges for Kenya ethnic violence ). BBC News.
