A moving internal ceremony with staff at the @CanHCKenya. We recognized all who serve, with particular emphasis this year on First Nation and Indigenous soldiers who served in Canadian operations and Kenyans who served in Commonwealth ones.

Today, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we paused to honour the brave men and women who served and made the ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you for safeguarding our peace and freedom.

On #RemembranceDay, #Canada 🇨🇦 honours those laid to rest at the Asmara War Cemetery in #Eritrea 🇪🇷. Though we can never repay the debt owed to those who gave their lives in service, #WeRemember their immense sacrifice and pay tribute to their courage and patriotism.

First visit to Dadaab today, est. in 1991. So impressed by resilience and generosity of refugee and host communities.

🙏 @DRSKenya Commish, @ForeignOfficeKE and @FatimaMCole for joining us, and 🙏 also to @IOMKenya and @WFP_Kenya for great work and support. More to come…

Thank you PS: delighted with the conversation and the concrete steps we are taking to deepen the 🇨🇦-🇰🇪 relationship, which continues to go from strength to strength.

As hosts, the Kenya side led an excellent and outcome-focused discussion 🙏

Co-chaired the 4th Kenya–Canada Binational Commission (BNC) today with Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Canada, H.E. Arun Thangaraj. Established in 2018, the BNC has become the prime mover that translates the policy intentions and ambitions of our two governments into practical pathways of cooperation as well as providing a platform for follow up of commitments made.

The BNC reaffirmed our shared commitment to converting six decades of diplomacy into tangible economic outcomes—deepening cooperation in trade, investment, labour mobility, health, and peace & security. For instance, we urged for rapid conclusion of negotion between Lambton Conveyor and Kenya Cereals and Produce Board on grain handling improvement and food systems interventions to cut post-harvest losses by 36%. We also discussed Canada’s commitment to establish a CAD $50M aviation JKIA MRO hub with Avmax and Algonquin College to support Aircraft Maintenance and train Technician for Canadian made Dash 8 planes. Commending the new Canada Strategy for Africa (2025), the BNC identified ongoing cooperation on regional peacekeeping, counter-terrorism and strengthening Coast Guard Services as priority for both our countries.

I am grateful to ambassadors Joshua Tabah
and Geoffrey Kaituko for their efforts to sustain our shared aspirations in Ottawa and Nairobi. @ForeignOfficeKE @JoshuaTabah @GeoffreyKaituko
