Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Sia Anagnostopoulou met with the Chief Administrative Secretary of Kenya’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ababu Namwamba, in the presence of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Terens Quick.

During the meeting, which was conducted in an especially warm climate, the excellent level of the bilateral relations between the two countries was stressed, while ways of strengthening bilateral political, economic, trade, and cultural cooperation were examined.

In this context, the Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs proposed that the prospect of organising a Greek-Kenyan Joint Interministerial Committee (JIC) be looked into, which will contribute to further rapprochement between the two countries. The proposal was especially well received by the Kenyan side.

Sia Anagnostopoulou praised Kenya for its stabilising role in the region of East Africa and expressed her wish that the other member states of the East African Community proceed with the conclusion and ratification of the economic cooperation agreement with the European Union.
