A significant step forward in Kenya–Canada relations!
The successful conclusion of the 4th Kenya–Canada Binational Commission (BNC) in Nairobi marks renewed momentum in our partnership.

Our priority now is implementation—translating commitments into tangible results, particularly in trade, investment and other areas of cooperation.

My sincere appreciation to the co-chairs, PS Dr. @SingoeiAKorir , Canada’s Deputy Minister, Arun Thangaraj and my counterpart, High Commissioner @JoshuaTabah , for their leadership, partnership and commitment.

Today, I was honoured to lay a wreath on behalf of the African Diplomatic Group at the 5th Annual Remembrance Ceremony for the Latin American Community in Canada, held at the National Military Cemetery in Ottawa during Latin American Heritage Month.

The ceremony was a solemn occasion to honour the soldiers and military personnel whose service and sacrifice have helped shape our shared history, while recognising the valuable contributions of the Latin American community to Canada.

Remembrance reminds us that peace, freedom, and unity come at a cost. By honouring those who served and sacrificed, we preserve their legacy and reaffirm our commitment to a future founded on peace, mutual respect, and international solidarity.

We remember their service, honour their sacrifice, and renew our commitment to peace.

I had a fruitful meeting with Franklin Epape, a Cameroonian-Canadian entrepreneur and Executive Director of the Africa Development Network, to explore opportunities to deepen Kenya–Canada economic cooperation.

Our discussions focused on Canada’s Africa Strategy and prospects for collaboration in agriculture, energy and mining. We also explored how diaspora networks can serve as bridges for investment, trade, knowledge exchange and market access.

The Africa Diaspora Business Forum, scheduled for 19–21 November 2026, provides an important platform to connect entrepreneurs, investors and institutions and unlock opportunities for mutually beneficial partnerships.

At @KenyaInCanada, we are committed to advancing economic diplomacy that transforms shared interests into practical partnerships and measurable outcomes.

Our ambition is clear: to connect people, ideas and capital in ways that create lasting economic opportunities for Kenya and Canada.

Day Three and Final Day of Our Diplomatic Economic Mission to Saskatchewan 🇨🇦

Our final day explored clean-energy innovation at the University of Regina’s Clean Energy Technologies Research Institute (CETRI), public policy with the Government of Saskatchewan, advanced manufacturing at Brandt, and integrated logistics at the Global Transportation Hub.

The three-day mission concluded with a reception hosted by Her Honour the Honourable Bernadette McIntyre, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, providing an opportunity to reflect on our engagements and strengthen relationships.

As one of 22 Heads of Mission participating in this economic mission, I leave Saskatchewan encouraged by the potential for Kenya–Saskatchewan cooperation in clean energy, agriculture and food security, critical minerals, advanced manufacturing, research and innovation, skills development, trade and investment.

One important lesson for Kenya is the value of connecting our resources, talent, research and infrastructure more effectively to markets, while building on our comparative advantages to enhance competitiveness and create new economic opportunities.

The Kenya High Commission in Ottawa will build on these engagements to foster strategic partnerships and translate diplomatic relations into tangible economic opportunities for Kenya and its people.

Saskatchewan has given us much to learn, much to share and much to explore together.
