Kenya and the United States of America have marked another significant milestone in their longstanding Defence partnership, with the signing of a Training Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the National Defence University of Kenya (NDU-K) and Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC) in Georgia, USA.

The Agreement was signed by Lt. Gen. D.K.C. Tarus, Vice Chancellor of NDU-K, and Dr. Ivan H. Allen, President of CGTC. The signing was witnessed by Col. Christopher Mbutu, Defence Attaché at the Embassy of the Republic of Kenya in Washington, D.C., alongside Mr. Jeff Scruggs, Executive Vice President of CGTC, and Brig. Gen. I.G. Noor, Commandant of the Defence Forces Technical College (DEFTEC), a constituent college of NDU-K.

The partnership provides an important framework for advancing cooperation in defence education, technical and vocational training, professional development, institutional capacity building and knowledge exchange. It reflects the shared commitment of Kenya and the United States to developing highly skilled personnel and strengthening resilient Defence institutions capable of responding effectively to evolving security challenges.

The Embassy welcomes this important milestone, which further strengthens the Kenya–U.S. strategic and defence partnership and advances the two countries’ shared objectives in peace, security, capacity building and professional military development.

Kenya has deepened diplomatic and trade relations with Austria by promoting bilateral cooperation in overseas employment, renewable energy generation, agriculture and technology.

We appreciate Austria for recruiting 100 Kenyan nurses, a number we intend to scale up through the teaching of foreign languages at the Kenya Medical Training College centres.

At State House Nairobi, bid farewell to Austrian Ambassador to Kenya Christian Fellner, whose 8-year tour of duty in our country has come to an end.

To unleash the full benefits of integration in East Africa and indeed the whole of Africa, connectivity is key in facilitating the seamless flow of peoples, goods and services. Air traffic is indispensable in this regard.

That is why we are absolutely delighted to welcome Jambojet Airline to Uganda, which becomes the third Kenyan carrier in Ugandan skies after Kenya Airways and SafariLink.

Today I hosted the Jambojet MD and CEO Mr. Karanja Ndegwa and his team who paid me a courtesy call at my Kololo office in Kampala, ahead of JamboJet’s inaugural flight from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to Entebbe International Airport on 1st October, 2026.

Kenya cherishes Uganda as our most important bilateral partner in multiple spheres, from trade to regional peace and security cooperation. We will continue to deepen and broaden the special ties that bind our two countries and peoples, while promoting integration across the entire East African Community (EAC) and Africa. @FlyJambojetUG @KHCKampala

Kenya-UK relations have never been stronger!

This morning, over breakfast, I broke bread with UK High Commissioner Amb. Matt Baugh, not just for pleasantries, but to take stock of a partnership in motion. A year since the Kenya-UK Strategic Partnership Framework was signed, the conversation turned on what's actually being built: growing trade relations, connectivity under the Nairobi Railway City project, clean energy expansion at Malindi Solar and Menengai, deeper maritime surveillance cooperation and a defence relationship that continues to deliver mutual value.

The message was clear, Kenya and the UK aren't just reaffirming ties on paper. We're showing up, working through the details and building forward together.

On 12 August 2026, Amb. Geoffrey E. Kaituko, CBS, Acting High Commissioner of Kenya to Canada, visited Lambton Conveyor Limited in Wallaceburg. He held high-level discussions with Mr. Prashant Pathak, Chairman of the Board, and senior company officials. The meeting was also attended by a delegation from Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA), led by Dr. Dorothy Nyambi, President and CEO. The discussions focused on Lambton Conveyor’s expertise in grain handling, storage, and post-harvest management, as well as its interest in establishing grain-handling facilities in Kenya. The parties explored collaboration and investment opportunities to strengthen Kenya’s grain value chain. Key areas of emphasis included reducing post-harvest losses, improving storage efficiency, and enhancing the market readiness of agricultural produce. The engagement underscored the strategic benefits of the proposed partnership. These include increased national grain storage capacity, reduced food wastage, improved price stability for farmers, and greater resilience of Kenya’s food systems. The discussions were aligned with Kenya’s food security priorities and agricultural transformation agenda. During the visit, Amb. Kaituko and the MEDA delegation toured Lambton Conveyor’s facilities. The tour provided first-hand insight into the company’s operations and advanced grain-handling technologies, with a view to potential adaptation in Kenya. The visit reaffirmed the Kenya High Commission’s commitment to advancing economic diplomacy and facilitating Canadian investment, technology transfer, and expertise in support of Kenya’s sustainable agricultural development and long-term food security.

[The Trust Summit @GTSummit2026]

Trust isn't built on semantics, it is built on experience.

As market dynamics shift, trust is moving from abstract rhetoric into hard policy and industry execution. It remains the ultimate appreciating asset which is fundamental to functioning markets, economic resilience, and long-term growth.

The execution framework is set and dialogue now turns into institutional action ahead of the inaugural Trust Summit Nairobi Dialogue set for Oct 21–23, 2026.
