Kenya has intensified interactions with countries in Eastern Europe and Asia, regions that have steadily grown in economic and political influence.
Government officials say such engagements are crucial for opening new markets, enhancing development cooperation and securing strategic partnerships that could benefit the country’s long term economic ambitions.
Musalia Mudavadi, Kenya’s Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, has departed for Moscow, Russia, for a two-day official visit aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between the two nations.
According to the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, the visit is expected to focus on enhancing cooperation in key sectors including trade, energy, agriculture, education and technology.
Officials say the trip also seeks to expand diplomatic dialogue between Nairobi and Moscow at a time when Kenya is exploring diversified partnerships to support its development agenda.
During the visit, Mudavadi is scheduled to hold high-level talks with senior Russian government officials to discuss areas of mutual interest and opportunities for collaboration.
The discussions are expected to touch on investment prospects, economic partnerships and possible agreements that could boost trade between the two countries.
Kenya and Russia have maintained diplomatic relations for decades, but leaders from both sides have recently expressed interest in expanding cooperation, particularly in sectors such as fertilizer supply, energy development and technical training.
