China and Kenya have pledged to deepen their collaboration in security, law enforcement, and border management, expanding their partnership beyond traditional economic and trade ties. This renewed commitment was highlighted during a recent bilateral meeting between Kenya’s Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and Chinese Ambassador to Kenya Guo Haiyan. Murkomen emphasized that the partnership between the two nations has evolved to include critical areas of governance and security, alongside their ongoing socio-cultural and economic cooperation. He acknowledged China’s significant contributions to Kenya’s infrastructure development under the Belt and Road Initiative, which has played a pivotal role in advancing Kenya’s modernization agenda. Both countries are now exploring ways to enhance their collaboration in security infrastructure, border management, and combating transnational crimes that threaten regional stability. Ambassador Guo reaffirmed China’s commitment to supporting Kenya in building institutional capacity and strengthening law enforcement mechanisms. She also highlighted ongoing efforts to bolster cooperation in security, information exchange, and the use of technology to enhance public safety.
