Kenya is seeking to further strengthen its strategic partnership with Germany to advance cooperation in critical areas of national and regional importance. Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi on Wednesday held extensive bilateral talks with Germany’s Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs, Johann Wadephul, who is in the country for a two-day official visit.
The high-level discussions focused on enhancing collaboration in priority sectors including migration and mobility, climate action, renewable energy, peace and security, and multilateral engagement. The talks build on the long-standing Kenya–Germany partnership, which both leaders said continues to deliver tangible benefits for citizens of the two countries.
Climate change and the energy transition featured prominently, with the two sides exploring opportunities for expanded cooperation in renewable energy development and climate resilience initiatives. They also discussed frameworks to support safe, orderly and legal migration, alongside skills development and labour mobility programmes.
Mudavadi and Wadephul further exchanged views on regional and global peace and security, with particular focus on the ongoing conflicts in Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Both leaders reaffirmed their shared support for African-led peace efforts and stressed the importance of coordinated international action in addressing instability in the region.
In addition, the two leaders agreed to deepen future engagements in trade and investment, education, technology transfer and healthcare, noting that these sectors directly impact the livelihoods and wellbeing of citizens.
Germany remains one of Kenya’s key development partners, supporting projects in sustainable development, governance and economic growth.
Mudavadi said Kenya values its partnership with Germany and looks forward to expanded collaboration that promotes peace, economic transformation and climate action.
