\nKenya and Israel said they want to strengthen their “special” connections, which include the economy, security, and initiatives related to the Sustainable Development Goals [SDGs].<\/p>\n
Both sides’ delegations electronically convened, and they decided to enhance cooperation in development, security, and health.<\/p>\n
Kenya and Israel committed to invest in cooperative efforts on security problems, innovation, and cyber security, as well as continuing collaboration in dealing with Covid-19 and delivering health training in general, according to a statement released by Kenya’s Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe two sides agreed to advance and broaden development support, including holding a dedicated Development Dialogue, to advance the Sustainable Development Goals and President Kenyatta’s Big 4 Agenda,\u201d according to the statement. The Big 4 Agenda refers to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s ambitious projects to improve food security, manufacturing, healthcare, and housing.<\/p>\n
The two delegations met at the 4th Political Dialogue between the two countries, led by Kenyan Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Macharia Kamau and Israeli Foreign Ministry Director-General Alon Ushpiz.<\/p>\n
This was also a preliminary meeting for the next Joint Commission on Cooperation, which is set to take place in November.<\/p>\n
Israel, widely regarded as one of the finest in security management, has also reduced Covid-19 fatalities with a broader immunization campaign. It had already assisted in the training of Kenyan nurses following independence under the Mashav program.<\/p>\n
In the past, Israel has been involved in a number of Kenyan initiatives, with varying degrees of success. It has historically worked with Kenya on security force training.<\/p>\n
Israel re-joined the African Union as an observer state, rejoining the organization it abandoned angrily 19 years ago. As an Observer, Israel will not have a vote but will be able to send delegates to important meetings and advocate for favorable support. It is largely regarded as a rebuke to Palestine, which has been an Observer state at the African Union since 2013.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Political Dialogue is an important opportunity for both Kenya and Israel to address bilateral problems at a senior level and enhance the nations’ unique relations,\u201d Kenya’s Foreign Ministry stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe conversation highlights the strength of Kenya and Israel’s special connection, which is founded on similar aims and interests, as well as a long history of friendship and admiration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
