Nairobi / New Delhi

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and his Kenyan counterpart Raychelle Oma­mo on Saturday held a “productive discussion” on bilateral cooperation that the two countries will take forward through a joint commission.

Jaishankar, who arrived in Kenya on Saturday on a 3-day visit, had a detailed exchange on regional and global issues with the Kenyan Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs.

“A detailed exchange on regional and global issues as befitting two UNSC members. A historical solidarity is today a modern partnership,” Jaishankar tweeted.

Thanking Omamo for her "gracious welcome and hospitality," Jaishankar said they had a "productive discussion" on bilateral cooperation the two countries will be taking forward through the Joint Commission.

He will chair, along with his Kenyan counterpart, the 3rd India-Kenya Joint Commission meet to review all aspects of the bilateral ties.

The last meet of the Joint Commission was held in New Delhi in March 2019. Jaishankar will also meet the Kenyan government’s other ministers to take forward the India-Kenya relationship.
