Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi says Kenya is seeking deeper strategic cooperation with Israel in energy, security and climate action as part of a broader push to strengthen bilateral ties.
Mudavadi, who hosted Israel’s Ambassador to Kenya, Gideon Behar, for a courtesy call at his office, said the two countries are keen to expand collaboration in priority sectors that underpin Kenya’s development agenda.
The meeting between the two leaders also focused on scaling up cooperation in agriculture, food security, defence, renewable energy and health diplomacy.
Mudavadi highlighted Kenya’s geothermal energy potential and invited increased Israeli investment in the sector as part of efforts to strengthen energy security and support the country’s climate goals.
“The two leaders emphasised the importance of partnership in addressing the climate crisis, with a particular focus on harnessing Kenya’s vast geothermal energy potential,” a statement by the State Department for Foreign Affairs indicated.
The discussions also touched on enhanced engagement at multilateral forums, including the United Nations, with Kenya reiterating its commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East.
