Kenya is working with partners across the world to expand markets for our products, attract investment, and promote local manufacturing and value addition. Our leadership in floriculture and our strong position in the global flower market remain critical to growing exports and reinforcing Kenya’s reputation for quality, sustainability, and innovation.

To support this growth, we are expanding cold-chain logistics and strengthening market access for Kenyan producers through the Kenya–European Union Economic Partnership Agreement, creating new opportunities for farmers and agribusinesses alike.

Partnerships with global industry leaders such as Yara International are equally important in advancing agricultural productivity, food security, and climate-smart farming. Together, we can unlock new opportunities for farmers, accelerate agricultural transformation, and create greater prosperity across the value chain.

Held productive discussions in Oslo with Mr. Erling Ølstad of Mester Grønn and Mr. Magnus Krogh Ankarstrand of Yara International on strengthening cooperation in these areas and expanding opportunities for Kenyan producers in international markets.

Kenya and Norway enjoy strong and enduring relations founded on shared values, mutual respect and a common commitment to peace, sustainable development and inclusive prosperity.

Met with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and discussed ways to further deepen bilateral cooperation in trade and investment, renewable energy and climate action, and regional peace and security. Our partnership continues to be anchored on mutual benefit and a shared ambition to create opportunities for our people and economies.

We also witnessed the signing of agreements to strengthen cooperation in peace mediation and conflict resolution, and to advance collaboration in carbon markets and climate action through market-based approaches that support sustainable development and green growth.

Welcome to Oslo, FM Gedion Timothewos! 🇪🇹🇳🇴
I appreciated our exchange on Ethiopia’s green energy & industy ambitions and the potential for closer commercial ties with Norway. We also discussed the situation in the Horn of Africa, the Hormuz Strait, Ukraine and UN reform.

På vegne av @Utenriksdept tok jeg i dag imot HR Norges Kompetansepris 2022. Døgnet rundt, og i over 100 land, er UDs ansatte på jobb for å ivareta norske interesser, ofte under svært krevende forhold. Dette er en anerkjennelse av det arbeidet. @EvenBolstad @HRNorge @km_dep

Hvorfor er det nødvendig for (er det nødvendig?) for @NRKno å «dubbe» nyheter fra svensk/dansk til norsk? (Og med en irriterende robotstemme.) Trist mtp felles skandinavisk språkforståelse.

Det norske selskapet @_noisolation og AV1 er nevnt i den britiske regjeringens nye ensomhetsstrategi, som et konkret eksempel på hvordan teknologi kan motvirke ensomhet. Veldig bra! 🎉

Danmark altså 😊👍

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

Fox News tried coming after Denmark's social safety net. This Danish politician's retort was legendary.

First thing for everything - my first at Westfield, and @StokkeBaby ‘s first brand store in Europe. Fun to attend the opening today, and proud that so much good, sustainable, durable, functionable and beautiful design has its origin in Norway. https://t.co/wLQP99sMKY

[Norway in the UK @NorwayinUK]
