Kenya Embassy Seoul - 주한 케냐 대사관

I joined fellow Foreign Ministers and senior officials from across Africa and regional organisations for a high-level engagement hosted by H.E. Lee Jae-myung, President of the Republic of Korea, at Cheong Wa Dae in Seoul.

The discussions focused on strengthening Africa–Korea partnerships, with emphasis on expanding economic cooperation, critical minerals, resilient supply chains and South Korea’s growing engagement with the Global South.

We also reflected on the outcomes of the 2026 Korea–Africa Ministers’ Summit, where important progress was made in trade, infrastructure, investment, science and technology, education, agriculture, climate action, health, peace and security, and people-to-people exchanges.

On behalf of the Government and people of Kenya, I conveyed appreciation to President Lee, his Government and the people of the Republic of Korea for the warm hospitality extended to the Kenyan delegation during this visit.

David Karanja, Deputy Head of Mission, visited the Incheon Innovation Cluster (IIC).

During the visit, the delegation received an overview of the Incheon Innovation Cluster and toured facilities at Incheon National University. The visit provided an opportunity to learn about Korea’s innovation ecosystem and exchange views on strengthening cooperation in science, technology, innovation, and human capacity development between Kenya and the Republic of Korea.
