Lavrov Arrives in Nairobi to Discuss Kenya Ties With Nation's President & FM
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has arrived in Kenya’s capital of Nairobi, where he is scheduled to meet with the country's leadership. The last time Moscow's top diplomat visited Kenya was in 2010.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday during talks with the head of Kenya's National Assembly (the lower house of parliament), Moses Wetangula, that he also plans to discuss the promotion of Russian-Kenyan
relations with President William Ruto and Foreign Minister Alfred Mutua.
Lavrov recalled that December 14, 2023, will mark the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the countries. "It is very appropriate to be here on this occasion and, of course, to have the opportunity to discuss with your president, your foreign minister and you, Mr Speaker, and your parliamentary team the need to further advance our relations," the minister emphasized.
"During this visit we will discuss our cooperation in the economy, trade, investment, humanitarian issues, culture, education, cooperation at the UN platform and many other things," the top diplomat added.
Moscow's diplomacy chief thanked his counterpart for the Kenyan parliamentary delegation's participation in the Russian-African Parliamentary Forum in March.
"We will continue this practice and, of course, we are looking forward to the Russia-Africa summit scheduled for the end of July in St. Petersburg," Lavrov concluded.
