President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday witnessed the signing of a Joint Declaration on the Kenya-European Union (EU) Strategic Dialogue by Foreign Affairs CS Raychelle Omamo and visiting EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell Fontelles.
The event took place at the State House, Nairobi.
The declaration signed will guide Kenya-EU bilateral negotiations in three thematic areas namely peace, security, and stability; sustainability including implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); and economy, trade and development.
The Joint Declaration is an outcome of the EU-Kenya Strategic Dialogue process unveiled by Uhuru and his European Council counterpart Charles Michel in June last year and is a step forward in strengthening ties between Nairobi and Brussels.
