Pleased to host a delegation from Western University, Canada, 🇨🇦 led by the Deputy Provost, Professor Jeff Hutter Vice-President, Research, to explore strategic partnerships in biomedical research, innovation and technology transfer between Canadian and Kenyan institutions. @WesternU Our discussions focused on developing locally relevant biomedical solutions, strengthening research capacity, and translating scientific discoveries into practical benefits for Kenyan communities. Drawing on Western University’s experience in Uganda, we explored opportunities to establish impactful research collaborations in Kenya building on Mpala Research Centre @AmrefUniversity @uonbi @PU_Kilifi I underscored the importance of value for money, accountability and measurable outcomes in research investments. I also invited Western University to explore participation in Kenya’s Grand Challenge Initiative, mobilising expertise and resources to address national development priorities through research and innovation. The Kenya will facilitate a coordinated partnership framework, bringing together relevant Kenyan universities and research institutions to advance joint research, capacity building and resource mobilisation. Our shared ambition is clear: to strengthen Kenya–Canada cooperation in science, research and innovation, ensuring that research delivers tangible solutions, improves lives and accelerates Kenya’s transition to a knowledge- and innovation-driven economy.

Kenya–Canada: Science, Technology and Multilateralism An insightful meeting with Canada’s High Commissioner to Kenya, H.E. Joshua Tabah, and his team on our collaboration in critical and emerging technologies, the AI Middle Powers initiative, and the Trust Summit. We noted the depth of existing Kenya–Canada cooperation, including in research, and discussed Nairobi’s place as a diplomatic hub and the wider role of business, research and innovation, including companies such as Cohere. Looking forward to advancing the next steps, guided by PS. Dr. Singoei and PS. Prof. Shaukat. @CanHCKenya @KenyaInCanada @ForeignOfficeKE @Profshaukat @SingoeiAKorir @MusaliaMudavadi @WilliamsRuto

Canada continues to closely monitor the ongoing violence in Ethiopia and is deeply concerned by the risk of regional escalation. We call for the de-escalation of inflammatory cross-border rhetoric and a return to diplomatic dialogue.
